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
This, this is Christ the King
The Babe
The Son of Mary
Why lies He in
Such mean estate
Where ox and ass
Are feeding
Good Christian fear
For sinners here
The silent Word
Is pleading
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard
And angels sing
This, this is Christ the King
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
This, this is Christ the King
The Babe
The Son of Mary
The Babe
The Son of Mary
