What child is this?
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?
Instrumental:
2.So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come, peasant, king, to own Him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts 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!
Modulation:
Raise, raise the song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy! Oh, joy! for Christ is born,
The babe, the son of Mary!
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe…., the son…., of Mary!

The babe, the son, of Mary!
