[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

[Chorus]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary

[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

[Chorus]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
