What Child is this who, laid to rest
      Bm     G       F#
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
            Bm     D              A             F#m
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
          Bm            F#            Bm
While shepherds watch are keeping?
 
Chorus 1
D                 A             F#m
This, this is Christ the King,
           Bm             G              F#
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
D                       A              F#m
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
       Bm           F#       Bm
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why lies He in such mean estate,
          Bm        G          F#
Where ox and ass are feeding?
         Bm             D           A          F#m
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
       Bm    F#         Bm
The silent Word is pleading.

Chorus 2
D                  A                F#m
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
        Bm        G             F#
The cross be borne for me, for you.
D                  A                 F#m
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
       Bm           F#       Bm
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
 
Verse 3
     Bm           D           A             F#m
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
          Bm          G                F#
Come peasant, king to own Him;
       Bm      D       A             F#m
The King of kings salvation brings,
      Bm     F#         Bm
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
 
Chorus 3
D                    A           F#m
Raise, raise a song on high,
      Bm     G             F#
The virgin sings her lullaby.
D               A           F#m
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
       Bm          F#       Bm
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
