| Lyrics: | 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 laud
the babe, the son of
Mary
Why lies He in such mean state
where ox and and ass are feeding?
good
christian, fear for sinners here
the silent word is pleading
this, this is Christ the
King
whom shepherds guard and angels sing
haste, haste to bring him laud
the babe,
the son of Mary
Nails, spear, shall, pierce him through
the cross be bome, for me,
for you
hail, hail, the world made flesh
the babe, the son of Mary
this, this is
Christ the King
whom shepherds guard and angels sing
haste, haste to bring him
laud
the babe, the son of Mary
So bring him incense, gold and myrrh
come
peasant, King to own him
the King of Kings salvation brings
let loving hearts enthrone
him
this, this is Christ the King
whom shepherds guard and angels sing
haste, haste
to bring him laud
the babe, the son of Mary
Raise, raise, the song on high
the
Virgin sings her llullaby
joy, joy for Christ is born
the babe, the son of Mary
this,
this is Christ the King
whom shepherds guard and angels sing
haste, haste to bring him
laud
the babe, the son of Mary |
