[Verse 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?

[Chorus]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary

[Verse 2]
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to hold Him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

[Chorus 2]
Raise, raise a song on high
His mother sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary

[Instrumental]
[Chorus 2]
Raise, raise a song on high
His mother sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary

[Chorus 1]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
