C#mEBG#m
What child is this, who, laid to rest
C#mAG#
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
C#mEBG#m
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
C#mG#mC#m
While shepherds watch are keeping?
Chorus:
EBG#m
This, this is Christ the King,
C#mAG#
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
EBG#m
Haste, haste to bring him praise,
C#mG#C#m
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
C#mEBG#m
He lies in such a lonely place,
C#mAG#
Where ox and lamb are feeding?
C#mEBG#m
The end of fear for all hear,
C#mG#mC#m
The silent Word is speaking.
Chorus
C#mEBG#m
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
C#mAG#
Come peasant king to love Him,
C#mEBG#m
The King of kings, salvation brings,
C#mG#mC#m
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
EBG#m
Raise, raise the song on high,
C#mAG#
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
EBG#m
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
C#mG#mC#m
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
