What Child Is This?
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?
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
Raise, raise, the song on high
This mother sings her lullaby:
Joy, oh joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Oh, this is Christ alive
Oh, this is Christ alive
