1. What child is this, who, laid to rest,
F Dm E
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Am C G Em
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
F E Am
While shepherds watch are keeping?
C Am G Em
This, this is Christ the King,
Am F E
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
C Am G Em
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
F E Am
The babe, the son of Mary.
Am C G Em
2. Why lies He in such mean estate
F Dm E
Where ox and lamb are feeding?
Am C G Em
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
F E Am
The silent Word is pleading.
C Am G Em
This, this is Christ the King,
Am F E
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
C Am G Em
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
F E Am
The babe, the son of Mary.
Am C G Em
3. So bring Him incence, gold, and myrrh,
F Dm E
Come peasant, king, to own Him,
Am C G Em
The King of kings salvation brings,
F E Am
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
