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

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

The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly wears the crown

The rising of the sun and the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ,sweet singing in the choir

The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour

The rising of the sun and the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ sweet singing in the choir
