What Child Is This Lyrics

What child is this who laid to rest 
on Mary`s lap asleeping 
whom angels breed with anthems sweet 
while shepherds watch our keeping 

This, this is christ the king 
whom shepherds guard and angels sing 

Haste, haste'll bring him lord 
the babe the son of Mary 

So bring him incense, bring him gold 
come plesant king to him 
The king of kings salvations brings 
let loving hearts enthrone him 

Raise, raise the son on high 
the virgin sings a lullaby 

Joy, joy for christ is born 
the babe was son of Mary 

What child is this who laid to rest 
on Mary`s lap asleeping 
whom angels breed with anthems sweet 
while shepherds watch our keeping 

Raise, raise the son on high 
the virgin sings a lullaby 

Joy, joy for christ is born 
the babe was son of Mary
