Lyrics

[00:11.78] What Child is this, who laid to rest,
[00:19.72] On Mary's lap is sleeping?
[00:27.25] Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
[00:34.89] While shepherds watch are keeping?
[00:42.85]
[00:43.21] This, this is Christ the King
[00:50.11] Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
[00:57.86] Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
[01:05.28] The Babe, the Son of Mary.
[01:12.66]
[01:20.37] Why lies He in such mean estate
[01:27.97] Where ox and ass are feeding?
[01:35.28] Good Christian, fear: for sinners here,
[01:42.93] The silent Word is pleading.
[01:50.67]
[01:51.13] Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,
[01:58.16] The Cross be borne, for me, for you:
[02:05.47] Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,
[02:13.22] The Babe, the Son of Mary!
[02:20.74] So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;
[02:28.19] Come peasant, king to own Him.
[02:35.48] The King of Kings salvation brings;
[02:43.17] Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
[02:50.84]
[02:51.08] Raise, raise, the song on high,
[02:58.36]
[03:06.12] Joy joy for Christ is born,
[03:13.21] The Babe, the Son of Mary!
