(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)
