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?
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!
So bring Him incense,
gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant king to own Him,
The King of kings,
salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
Raise, raise the song on high,

Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
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?
