What Child is this, Who, laid to rest
On Ma-ry's lap, is sleep-ing?
Whom an-gels greet with an-thems sweet,
While shep-herds watch are keep-ing?

This, this is Christ the King;
Whom shep-herds guard and an-gels sing:
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, The Son of Ma-ry!

So bring Him in-cense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peas-ant, king, to own Him;
The King of kings, sal-va-tion brings;
Let lov-ing hearts en-throne Him.

Raise, raise the song on high,
The Vir-gin sings her lul-la-by:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Ma-ry!
