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
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] Why lies He in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding Good Christian, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading [Verse 3] So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh Come, peasant, king to own Him The King of kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone Him
