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
this
this is christ
the king
whom shepherds guard and angels sing
haste
haste to bring him laud
the babe
the son of mary
this
this is christ
the king
whom shepherds guard and angels sing
haste
haste to bring him laud
the babe
the son of mary
of mary
