What Child Is This

Oh…
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?

So bring him incense, gold and myrrh
Come, peasant, king to own him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let every heart enthrone him

This, this is Christ, the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Oh, haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the son of Mary

This, this is Christ, the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Oh, haste, haste to bring him laud
The Babe, the son of Mary

What Child is this?
What Child is this?
What Child is this? (bis)

The Babe, the son of Mary
The Babe, the son of Mary
The Babe, the son of Mary
Son of Mary
