"What Child Is This?"

(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
