What child is this who's laid to rest
|
on Mary's lap is sleeping?
|
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
|
while shepherd's watch are keeping
|
This this is Christ the King
|
whom shepherds guard
|
and angels sing
|
Haste! haste! to bring him, Lord!
|
the babe, the son of Mary
|
|
So bring him incense, gold and myrrh
|
come peasant, king to all of him
|
The king of kings
|
celebration brings
|
That 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
|
