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

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!

What child is this, who, laid to rest

On Mary’s lap is sleeping?

Oh joy, oh joy, for Christ is born

The babe, the son of Mary...
