Lyrics
Verse 1
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
Verse 2
Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and lamb are feeding
Good Christian fear for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
Chorus
This this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud
The Babe the Son of Mary
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
Bridge
Come let us adore Him
Our hearts will enthrone Him
Chorus
This this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud
The Babe the Son of Mary
