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? 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 Raise, raise the Son on high The virgin sees a Lamb on high Joy, joy for Christ is born The babe, the son of Mary This is Christ, our King The babe, the son of Mary This is Christ, our King The babe, the son of Mary This is Christ, our King The babe, the son of Mary
