What Child Is This 2 Lyrics

1. 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?

[Refrain]
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, Haste, to bring him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

2. Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading. [Refrain]

3. So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, King to own Him;
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him. [Refrain]
