        Am       C          G       Em
1. What child is this, who, laid to rest,
   F      Dm     E
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
     Am     C          G       Em
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
      F         E         Am
While shepherds watch are keeping?
    C     Am      G          Em
    This, this is Christ the King,
         Am        F         E
    Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
    C      Am       G         Em
    Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
        F         E      Am
    The babe, the son of Mary.
       Am      C       G      Em
2. Why lies He in such mean estate
      F      Dm       E
Where ox and lamb are feeding?
     Am         C         G       Em
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here
    F      E       Am
The silent Word is pleading.
    C     Am      G          Em
    This, this is Christ the King,
         Am        F         E
    Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
    C      Am       G         Em
    Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
        F         E      Am
    The babe, the son of Mary.
      Am        C        G         Em
3. So bring Him incence, gold, and myrrh,
     F        Dm       E
Come peasant, king, to own Him,
    Am      C        G      Em
The King of kings salvation brings,
    F      E        Am
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
