What Child Is This? lyrics

(William C. Dix/16th Century English Melody) What child is this who lay 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. So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh Come peasant, king to own Him The King of Kings salvation brings Let loving 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 The Babe, the Son of Mary
