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 the 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 the song on high

His mother sings her lullaby

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

Oh, Mary
