W:1. What child is this, who, laid to rest,
W:On Mary's lap is sleeping
W:Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
W:While shepherds watch are keeping
W:
W:Chorus:
W:This, this is Christ the King,
W:Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
W:This, this is Christ the King,
W:The Babe, the Son of Mary.
W:
W:2. Why lies He in such mean estate
W:Where ox and ass are feeding
W:Good Christian, fear, for sinners here
W:The silent Word is pleading.
W:(Chorus)
W:
W:3. So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
W:Come, peasant, King to own Him;
W:The King of Kings salvation brings
W:Let loving hearts enthrone him.
W:(Chorus)
