What child is this that laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping Whom angels greet with anthems sweet And 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 peasant king to own him The king of kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone him. This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him laud The babe the son of Mary. This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him laud The babe the son of Mary
