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.

What Child is this, who laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Hallelujah------------------------->
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Raise, raise the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe the Son of Mary
(one strum per chord)
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
