Lyrics:

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

Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding
The end of fear for all who hear
The silent Word is speaking

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 love 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 praise
The Babe, the son of Mary

Raise, raise the song on high
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary
