Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 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.

 Why lies He in such mean estate,

 Where ox and ass are feeding?

 Good Christians, fear, for sinners here

 The silent Word is pleading.

Chorus

 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

 What Child is this who, laid to rest

 On Mary's lap is sleeping?
