    • Old English Melody with words by William C. Dix

    [Verse 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?

    [Chorus]

    This, this is Christ the King,
    Whom shepherds guard and angels sing,
    Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
    The Babe, the Son of Mary!

    [Verse 2]

    So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
    Come peasant, king to own Him.
    The King of kings salvation brings,
    Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

    [Chorus]

    Raise, raise, the song on high,
    The virgin sings her lullaby,
    Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
    The Babe, the Son of Mary!

    [Bridge]
