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;
|
This, this is Christ the King,
|
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
|
Why lies He in such mean estate,
|
Where ox and ass are feeding?
|
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
|
The silent Word is pleading.
|
|
This, this is Christ the King,
|
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
|
This, this is Christ the King,
|
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;
|
This, this is Christ the King,
|
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
