[Part I: What Child Is This?]

[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 own him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him

[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
[Part II: The Holly and the Ivy]

[Verse 1]
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown

[Chorus]
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir

[Verse 2]
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Savior

[Chorus]
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
