What Child is this? lyrics

What child is this
Who laid to rest
Upon 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 a song on high
His mother sings a lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
