(Traditional)
|
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!
|

Haste, haste to bring him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary!
