| Lyrics: | (Traditional)
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!
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, come peasant, king to own Him,
The King of
kings, salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high, the
Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born, the Babe, the Son of Mary!
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! |
