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
Chorus This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring Him laud The babe the son of Mary
Why lies He in such a mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding Good Christian fear for sinners here The silent world is pleading
(Chorus) So bring Him incense, gold, and myrth Come peasant King to own him The King of Kings salvation brings Let lowing hearts enthrone Him |
