WHAT CHILD IS THIS

 

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,
”This, this is Christ the King
The Babe, the Son of Mary”

So bring Him

Incense, gold, and myrrh
Come peasant and king to own Him
The King of kings

Salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
Raise, raise the song on high
The Virgin sings her lullaby
”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 anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard

And angels sing,
”This, this is Christ the King
The Babe, the Son of Mary”
