What Child is this, who laid to restOn Mary's lap is sleepingWhom angels greet with anthems sweetWhile shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the KingWhom shepherds guard and angels sing!Haste, haste to bring Him laudThe Babe the Son of Mary

So bring Him incenseGold and myrrh come peasantKing to own HimThe King of kingsSalvation brings, let loving heartsEnthrone Him

Raise, raise a song on high!The virgin sings her lullabyJoy, joy for Christ is bornThe Babe, the Son of Mary!

This, this is Christ the KingWhom shepherds guard and angels sing!Haste, haste to bring Him laudThe Babe the Son of Mary

ACAPELLA

Nails, spears shall pierce Him throughThe Cross He bore for me, for youHail, hail the Word made fleshThe Babe the Son of Mary
