What Child Is This?

An Angel's song is sung

Mary's time has come to best

The Lord will have a Son

Wise men come to welcome home the child



What child is this, who lay to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping

Whom Angels greet with anthem sweet

While shepards watch our keeping



This, this is Christ, the King

Whom shepards guard and Angels sing

Haste, haste to bring Him love

The babe, the Son of Mary, Mary



An Angel's song is sung

Mary's time has come to best



So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh

Come peasant King to own Him

The King of Kings, salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone him



Praise, praise the Son on high

The Virgin sings her lullaby

Joy, joy, for Christ is born

The babe, the Son of Mary, Mary



An Angel's song is sung

Wise men come to welcome home the child



What child is this, who lay to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping

Whom Angels greet with anthem sweet

While shepards, shepards watch our keeping



An Angel's song is sung

Mary's time has come to best

The Lord will have a Son

Wise men come to welcome home the child



Mary's time has come to best

The Lord will have a Son

Wise men come to welcome home the child
