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 the good 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



Oh raise, oh raise this song on high



His mother sings her lullaby



Oh joy, oh joy for Christ is born



The babe and the son of Mary



What child is this?



What child is this?



(What child is this?)



This, this is Christ the King



Whom shepherds guard and angels sing



Haste, haste to bring Him laud



The babe and the son of Mary, of Mary, of Mary
