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 lord

The babe, the son of mary

So bring him incense, gold, and myrth

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 lord

The babe, the son of mary

This, this is christ the king

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him lord

The babe, the son of mary

This, this is christ the king

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him lord

The babe, the son of mary
