What child is this who laid to rest on Mary`s lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds their watch are keeping
This this is Christ the King whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring him love the babe the son of Mary
Why lies he in such mean estate where ox and ass are feeding
Good Christians fear and sinners hear
The silent word is pleading
Raise raise the song on high the virgin sings her lullaby
Joy Joy for Christ is born the babe the son of Mary
The world is waiting for him to grow and wake up all who are sleeping
Oh blessed be this day forever
That saved us from our weeping
This this is Christ the King whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring him love the babe the son of Mary
