What Child Is This?

Son of Mary
 ♪
 What child is this, who laid to rest
 On Mary's lap lay sleeping?
 Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
 While shepherds watch are keeping?
 ♪
 Why lies He in such mean estate
 Where ox and ass are feeding?
 Good Christian, fear for sinners here
 The silent Word is pleading
 ♪
 This, this is Christ the King
 Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
 Haste, haste to bring Him laud
 The babe, the son of Mary
 Mary, Mary
 Mary
 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
 Raise, raise a song on high
 The virgin sings her lullaby
 Joy, joy for Christ is born
 The babe, the son of Mary
