What Child Is This

What Child Is This - Jeannie Seely

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 love

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

Raise raise a song on high

The virgin sings her lullaby :

Joy joy for Christ is born

The babe the Son of Mary
