Lyrics
What (Em)Child is this, who, (D)laid to rest,
On (C)Mary's lap is (B7)sleeping?
Whom (Em)angels greet with (D)anthems sweet,
While (C)shepherds (B7)watch are (Em)keeping?
(Bm)This, (G)this is (D)Christ the (Bm)King,
Whom (Em)shepherds (C)guard and (B7)angels sing:
(G)Haste, (G#dim)haste to (F#m7)bring
Him (Bm)laud, The (Em)babe, the (B7)son of (E)Mary.
So (Em)bring Him incense, (D)gold and myrrh,
Come (C)peasant, king, to (B7)own
Him. The (Em)King of kings (D)salvation brings,
Let (C)loving (B7)hearts (Em)enthrone
Him. (Bm)Raise, (G)raise the (D)song on (Bm)high,
The (Em)Virgin (C)sings
Her (B7)lullaby:
(G)Joy, (G#dim)joy for (F#m7)Christ is (Bm)born,
The (Em)babe, the (B7)son of (E)Mary.
So y.
