What Child Is This

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Why does he lies in such mean estate

Where ox and ass are feeding

Good people feel for sinners here

The silent word is bleeding

[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

[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

[Verse 3]

Oh, raise, oh raise a song on high

His mother sings her lullaby

Oh Joy, oh joy for Christ is born

The babe, the son of Mary

[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

[Outro]

The babe, the son of Mary

The babe, the son of Mary

The babe, the son of Mary
