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!
|
