What child is this
who laid 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 laud
The babe
The son of Mary
Raise
Raise the song on high
The Virgin sings
her lullaby
Joy
Joy for Christ is born
The babe
The son of Mary
