What child is this who lay to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepards watch are keeping

Chorus:
This! This! is Christ the King
Whom shepards guard and angels sing
This! This! is Christ the King
The babe the son of Mary

Verse:
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and lamb are feeding
Good christian fear for sinners hear
The silent word is leading

Chorus

So bring him innsense, gold, and myer
Come plesent king to own Him
The king of kings salvation brings
Let love and hearts enthrone Him

Chorus
