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 praise
|
the babe, the son of mary
|
|
he lies in such a lowly place
|
where ox and ass are feeding
|
the end of fear for all who hear
|
the silent word is speaking
|
|
this, this is christ the king
|
whom shepherds guard and angels sing
|
haste, haste to bring him praise
|
the babe, the son of mary
|
|
so bring him incense,
|
gold and myrrh,
|
come peasant king to love 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 praise
|
the babe, the son of mary
|
|
raise, raise the song on high,
|
the virgin sings her lullaby:
|
joy, joy for christ is born,
|
the babe, the son of mary.
