What child is this Who laid to rest on Mary's lap 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 So bring him incense Gold and myrrh come pleasant king to hold him The king of kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone him Raise, raise the son on high The virgin sings their lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born The babe was son of Mary The babe was son of Mary
