(verse 1)  
Dm                      C   
What Child is this, who laid to rest  
   Dm            A   
On Mary's lap is sleeping?  
     Dm                C   
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet  
      Dm        A         Dm   
While shepherds watch are keeping?  
  
  
(Chorus)  
F             C   
This, this is Christ the King  
     Dm                  A   
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.  
F               C   
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,  
    Dm        A      Dm   
The Babe, the Son of Mary.  
  
  
        (verse 2)  
Dm                  C   
Why lies he in such mean estate   
      Dm             A   
Where ox and ass are feeding?    
     Dm                  C   
Good Christian, fear for sinners here,  
    Dm     A       Dm   
The silent Word is pleasing. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
(verse 3)  
Dm                    C   
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;  
      Dm               A   
Come, peasant king, to own Him.  
    Dm               C   
The King of Kings salvation brings;  
    Dm     A      Dm   
Let loving hearts enthrone Him. 
 
(Chorus)
