What Child Is This?

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 MarySo bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come, peasant king, to own Him
The King of Kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone HimRaise, raise the song on high
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy, for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
