What Child Is This?

What child is this who laid to rest
on Mary's lap asleeping
whom angels breed with anthems sweet
while shepherds watch our keepingThis, this is Christ the king
whom shepherds guard and angels singHaste, haste bring him lord

come pleasant king to him
The king of kings salvations brings

the virgin sings a lullabyJoy, joy for Christ is born

on Mary's lap asleeping
whom angels breed with anthems sweet
while shepherds watch our keepingRaise, raise the son on high
the virgin sings a lullabyJoy, joy for Christ is born
