What Child is This?
Lyrics
What child is this, who laid to rest
on Mary’s lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
while shepherds watch are keeping
Chorus
This, this is Christ the King
whom shepherds guard and angels sing,
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
the babe, the Son of Mary
Why lies He is such mean estate
where ox and ass are feeding,
Good Christian, fear for sinners here,
the silent Word is pleading
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant king, to own Him,
The King of Kings salvation brings;
let loving hearts enthrone Him
