"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?

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come, peasant, king to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

This, this is Christ, the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

(This, this is Christ, the King)
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Raise, raise a song on high
His mother sings, His mother sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
The Babe, the Son of Mary
The Babe, the Son of Mary
