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
|
|
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
|
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
|
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
|
The babe, the Son of Mary
|
|
Nails and spears shall pierce Him through
|
The cross He bore for me, for you
|
So hail, hail the Word made flesh
|
The babe, the Son of Mary
|
|
This, this is Christ the King
|
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
|
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
|
The babe, the Son of Mary
|
|
Raise, raise the song on high
|
The virgin sings her lullaby
|
Joy, joy for the Christ is born
|
The babe, the Son of Mary
|
