What child is this who laid to restÂ
On Mary's lap is sleepingÂ
Whom angels greet with anthems sweetÂ
While shepherds watch are keepingÂ
This, this is Christ the kingÂ
Whom shepherds guard and angels singÂ
Haste, haste to bring him laud the babe the son of MaryÂ
Why lies he in such mean estateÂ
Where ox and cattle are feedingÂ
Good Christians fear for sinners hereÂ
The silent word is pleadingÂ
This, this is Christ the kingÂ
Whom shepherds guard and angels singÂ
Haste, haste to bring him laud the babe the son of MaryÂ
So bring him insence, gold and myrrhÂ
Come peasant king to own himÂ
The King of kings salvation bringsÂ
Let loving hearts enthrone himÂ
This, this is Christ the kingÂ
Whom shepherds guard and angels singÂ
Haste, haste to bring him laud the babe the son of Mary
