What child is this, who, laid to rest
|
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
|
Whom angels greet with voices sweet,
|
While shepherds watch are keeping?
|
This, this is Christ the King,
|
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
|
Haste, haste to bring him praise,
|
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
|
|
So bring Him incense, gold,and myrrh,
|
Come peasant king to praise Him,
|
The King of kings of glory brings,
|
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
|
Raise, raise the song on high,
|
Let singing fill the earth and sky,
|
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
|
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
