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? 
 
  
  This, this is Christ the King 
 
 Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 
 
 Haste, haste to bring him Lord 
 
 The Babe, the Son of Mary 
  
 
 So bring Him incense, gold, and myrth 
 
 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 Lord 
 
 The Babe, the Son of Mary 
  
 
 This, this is Christ the King 
 
 Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 
 
 Haste, haste to bring him Lord 
 
 The Babe, the Son of Mary 
  
 
 This, this is Christ the King 
 
 Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 
 
 Haste, haste to bring him Lord 
 
 The Babe, the Son of Mary
