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?

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him lord

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

[Bridge]

So, bring Him incense, bring gold

Come peasant, king, to own Him

The King of kings, salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him

[Verse 2]

Raise, raise the song on high

The virgin sings her lullaby

Joy, joy, for Christ is born

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

[Instrumental break]

[Outro]

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?

Raise, raise the song on high

The virgin sings her lullaby

Joy, joy, for Christ is born

The Babe, the Son of Mary!
