(traditional)What child is this, who laid to restOn mary’s lap, is sleepingWhom 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 marySo bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,Come peasant king to own him,The king of kings, salvation brings,Let loving hearts enthrone him.Raise, raise the song on high,The virgin sings her lullaby:Joy, joy, for christ is born,The babe, the son of maryJoy, joy, for christ is born,The babe, the son of mary
