Harmonized by John Stainer Arranged by Tedd T. And Rebecca St. James What child is this, who laid to rest On Marys lap was sleeping Whom angels greet with anthem 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 Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and lamb are feeding Good Christian fear; for sinners here The silent word is pleading
This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him laud The babe the Son of Mary So bring him incense, gold and myrrh Come peasant, king, to own him The King of Kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone him This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him laud The babe the Son of Mary (repeat) The babe the Son of Mary
