[Verse 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

[Verse 3]
Raise, raise, the song on high
This mother sings her lullaby:
Joy, oh joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary

[Refrain]
Oh, this is Christ alive
Oh, this is Christ alive
