Lyrics

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 guardand 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 hearts enthrone him

Raise, raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for christ is born
The babe, the son of mary
