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
|
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
|
|
So bring incense, gold, and myrrh
|
Come peasant, come 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
|
|
This, this is Christ your 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
|
|
Ooh, born in a manger, laid in some hay
|
They just didn't know who you were
|
Ooh, You were born in a stable, so far away
|
O, we just didn't know who You were
|
|
Yes, sweet little Jesus, boy
|
Sweet little Jesus, boy, ooh
|
|
Didn't know who, who you were
|
