Show Lyrics — What Child Is This?
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 bring him lord the babe the son of Mary So bring him incense, bring him gold come pleasant 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
