Key: Em
[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?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, hast to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
[Verse 2]
Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,
The cross be born, for me, for you
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,
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
Raise, raise, the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
