Greensleeves
by William Chatterdon Dixs
Version 1
What child is this, who, lay to rest,
on Mary's lap, is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
while shepards watch are keeping


Chorus

This, this is Christ the King
whom shepards guard and angels sing
Haste, Haste, to bring him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary

Why lies he in such mean state
where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners
here the silent World is pleading


repeat chorus

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh come,
peaseant, King, to own him;
The King of Kings salvation brings,
let loving hearts enthrone Him

repeat chorus
