What Child Is This?

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring Him laud The babe, the son of Mary [Verse 2] Why lies He in such mean estate Where ox and cattle are feeding Good Christian fear for sinners here The silent world is pleading [Chorus] [Verse 3] So bring Him incense gold and myrrh Come peasant king to own Him The King of Kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone Him [Chorus]
