W:1) What child is this, who, laid to rest
W:On Mary's lap is sleeping
W:Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
W:While shepherds watch are keeping
W:This, this is Christ the King
W:Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
W:Haste, haste to bring Him laud
W:The babe, the son of Mary
W:
W:2) Why lies he in such mean estate
W:Where ox and ass are feeding
W:Good Christian fear, for sinners here
W:The silent Word is pleading
W:Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through
W:The Cross be borne, for me, for you
W:Hail, hail, the Word made flesh
W:The babe, the son of Mary
W:
W:3) So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh
W:Come peasant king to own Him
W:The King of kings, salvation brings
W:Let loving hearts enthrone Him
W:Raise, raise the song on high
W:The Virgin sings her lullaby
W:Joy, joy, for Christ is born
W:The babe, the son of Mary
