WHAT CHILD IS THIS? 

What [Dm] Child is this, who [C] laid to rest, 
On [Bb] Mary's lap is [A] sleeping? 
Whom [Dm] angels greet with [C] anthems sweet 
While [Bb] shepherds [A] watch are [Dm] keeping? 

[F] This, this is [C] Christ the King 
Whom [Bb] shepherds guard and [A] angels sing. 
[F] Haste, haste to [C] bring Him laud, 
The [Bb] Babe, the [A] Son of [Dm] Mary. 

Why lies he in such mean estate 
Where ox and ass are feeding? Good 
Christian, fear for sinners here, 
The silent Word is pleading. 
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. 
This, this is Christ the King 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. 
Haste, haste to bring Him laud, 
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
