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]

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh

Come peasant, king to own Him

The King of kings salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him

[Verse 3]

Raise, raise, the song on high

This mother sings her lullaby:

Joy, oh joy for Christ is born

The Babe, the Son of Mary

[Refrain]

Oh, this is Christ alive

Oh, this is Christ alive
