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



Raise, raise the song on high

The Virgin sings her lullaby

Joy, joy for Christ is born

The babe, the son of Mary
