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
|
Nails, spears shall pierce Him through
|
The Cross be borne for me, for you
|
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh
|
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
|
