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 worship and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him praise 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 This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds worship and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him praise The babe the son of Mary So bring him incense gold and myrrh All tongues and peoples own him The King of kings salvation brings Let every hearts enthrone him Raise, raise your song on high While Mary sings her lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born The babe the son of Mary
