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
