1  What Child is this, who, laid to rest   (William Chatterton Dix, published ca. 1865)           1
1  On Mary's lap, is sleeping?   1
1  What Child is this, who laid to rest,1
2  On Mary's lap is sleeping?2
  Whom angels greet with anthems sweet  Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
  While shepherds watch are keeping?  While shepherds watch are keeping?
2  {*}This, this is Christ the King   This, this is Christ the King 2
  Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.  Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
  Haste, haste to bring Him laud,  Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
  The Babe, the Son of Mary.  The Babe, the Son of Mary.
      
  Why lies He in such mean estate  Why lies He in such mean estate
  Where ox and ass are feeding?  Where ox and ass are feeding?
  Good Christian, fear: for sinners here,  Good Christian, fear: for sinners here,
  The silent Word is pleading.  The silent Word is pleading.
3  {*}Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,   This, this is Christ the King 3
4  The Cross be borne, for me, for you.   Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.            4

  Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,  Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,
  The Babe, the Son of Mary!  The Babe, the Son of Mary!
8  This, this is Christ the King8
9  Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.9
10  Haste, haste to bring Him laud,10

  So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;  So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;
5  Come peasant, king, to own Him.   Come peasant, king to own Him. 5
  The King of Kings salvation brings;  The King of Kings salvation brings;
  Let loving hearts enthrone Him.  Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
6  {*}Raise, raise,             the song on high,   This, this is Christ the King            6

  The Virgin sings her lullaby:  The Virgin sings her lullaby:
7  Joy, joy, for Christ is born,   Joy joy for Christ is born, 7
  The Babe, the Son of Mary!   The Babe, the Son of Mary!
