What Child Is This?

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



This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing

Haste, haste to bring Him laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary



Nails and spears shall pierce Him through

The Cross be borne for me, for you

Hail, hail the Word made flesh

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



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

The Babe, the Son of Mary

The Babe, the Son of Mary
