Em       G         D       Bm
What Child is this who, laid to rest
   Em     C      B
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
     Em     G          D       Bm
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
      Em        C         B
While shepherds watch are keeping?

[Chorus]

G             D          Bm
This, this is Christ the King,
     Em        C         B
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
G                D         Bm
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
    Em        B      Em
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

[Verse 2]

    Em      G       D    Bm
Why lies He in such mean estate,
      Em     C       B
Where ox and ass are feeding?
     Em          G         D       Bm
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
    Em     C       B
The silent Word is pleading.

[Chorus]

G             D          Bm
This, this is Christ the King,
     Em        C         B
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
G                D         Bm
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
    Em        B      Em
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

The cross be borne for me, for you.

Raise, raise a song on high,
    F#m    D         C#
The virgin sings her lullaby.
A                E           C#m
Joy, joy for the Christ is born,
    F#m        C#    F#m
