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? This, this is Christ the King; Whoni shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mâry! 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, the song on high, The virgin sings her lullaby; Joy, Joy, for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary! Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear; for sinners here Their silent word is pleadin g. Nails, spears, shall pierce Him through, The Cross He bore for me, for you; Hail, hail, the word made flesh, The Babe, the Son of Mary!
