Em G D Bm
What Child is this, who laid to rest,
Em Bm
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Em G D Bm
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
Em B7 Em
While shepherds watch are keeping?
Chorus:
Bm G D Bm
This, this is Christ the King
Em Bm
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Bm G D Bm
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
Em B7 Em
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Em G D Bm
Why lies he in such mean estate
Em Bm
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Em G D Bm
Good Christian, fear for sinners here,
Em B7 Em
The silent Word is pleasing.
**Chorus
Em G D Bm
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;
Em Bm
Come, peasant king, to own Him.
Em G D Bm
The King of Kings salvation brings;
Em B7 Em
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
**Chorus
