What child is this who's laid to rest On Mary's lap, is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthem sweet While shepherds' watch are keeping
[Chorus] This is, this is the Christ our King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring Him praise and laud The son of Mary, the Son of God
[Verse 2] Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians fear for sinners, hear The silent word is pleading
[Chorus] This is, this is the Christ our King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring Him praise and laud The son of Mary, the Son of God
[Verse 3] So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh Come peasant, king, to own him The King of kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone him
[Chorus] This is, this is the Christ our King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring Him praise and laud The son of Mary, the Son of God (2x)
