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;
This, this is Christ the King,
The Babe, the Son of Mary

Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading

This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
This, this is Christ the King,
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;
This, this is Christ the King,
The Babe, the Son of Mary
