What child is this who lay to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepards watch are keeping



Chorus:

This! This! is Christ the King

Whom shepards guard and angels sing

This! This! is Christ the King

The babe the son of Mary



Verse:

Why lies He in such mean estate

Where ox and lamb are feeding

Good christian fear for sinners hear

The silent word is leading



Chorus



So bring him innsense, gold, and myer

Come plesent king to own Him

The king of kings salvation brings

Let love and hearts enthrone Him



Chorus
