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.
|
|
--- Instrumental ---
|
|
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 virgins sings her lullabye
|
Joy, Joy, for Christ is born
|
The babe, the son of Mary...
