[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
[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 2]
So bring Him incense
Gold, and myrrh
Come peasant king to own Him
The King of Kings
Salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
