What child is this who laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping Whom angels greet with voices 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 Son, the Babe of Mary So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh Come peasant king to praise Him The King of kings, a glory brings Let loving hearts enthrone Him Raise, raise the song on high Let singing fill the earth and sky Joy, joy for Christ is born The Babe, the Son of Mary What child is this who laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping Whom angels greet with voices sweet While shepherds watch are keeping
