What Child is this who, laid to rest
EmCB
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
EmGDBm
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
EmCB
While shepherds watch are keeping?
[Chorus]
GDBm
This, this is Christ the King,
EmCB
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
GDBm
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
EmBEm
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
[Verse 2]
EmGDBm
Why lies He in such mean estate,
EmCB
Where ox and ass are feeding?
EmGDBm
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
EmCB
The silent Word is pleading.
[Chorus]
GDBm
This, this is Christ the King,
EmCB
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
GDBm
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
EmBEm
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
