What Child Is This?

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

Why lies He in such humble place

Where ox and sheep are feeding

Come, have no fear, God’s Son is here

His love, all love’s exceeding

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring Him laud

The Babe, the Son of Mary

So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh

Come peasant, king to own Him

The King of kings salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Raise, raise, the song on high

His mother sings her lullaby

Joy, joy for Christ is born

The Babe, the Son of Mary

This is our God

This is our King

This is our Savior

We will forever sing

He is our God

He is our King

He is our Savior

We will forever sing

This is our God
