[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
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
King of kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him

[Verse 3]
Raise, raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, oh joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary

[Outro]
The babe, the son
Oh…
