[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?
[Verse 2]
While lies he in
Such mean estate
Where ox and ass
Are feeding?
Good Christian, fear
For sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
[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
[Guitar Solo]
[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
