What Child Is This? Songtext / Lyric

What Child is this, who lays 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 praise

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 praise

The Babe, the Son of Mary



This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, oh haste to bring Him praise

The Babe, the Son of Mary

The Babe, the Son of Mary
