(William C. Dix/16th Century English Melody)

|
What child is this who lay 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
|
|
This, this is Christ the King
|
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
|
Haste, Haste, to bring him laud
|
The Babe, the Son of Mary
|
The Babe, the Son of Mary
|
