What Child Is This? Lyrics

(William C. Dix/16th Century English Melody)

What Child is this, who lays 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, haste to bring Him law
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him law
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 law
The Babe, the Son of Mary...
