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
|
Whome shepherds guard and angels sing
|
Haste, haste to bring him laud
|
The babe the son of Mary
|
|
Why lies He in such mean estate
|
Where ox and ass are feeding
|
Good Christian fear for sinners here
|
The silent word is pleading
|
|
This, this is Christ the King
|
Whome 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
|
This, this is Christ the King
|
Whome shepherds guard and angels sing
|
Haste, haste to bring him laud
|
The babe the son of Mary
|
The babe the son of Mary
|
