What Child Is This

C#m        E         B          G#m
What child is this, who, laid to rest
C#m        A             G#
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
C#m          E        B           G#m
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
C#m       G#m             C#m
While shepherds watch are keeping?

Chorus:
E          B             G#m
This, this is Christ the King,
C#m         A                G#
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
E          B               G#m
Haste, haste to bring him praise,
C#m         G#            C#m
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
C#m       E        B         G#m
He lies in such a lonely place,
C#m        A            G#
Where ox and lamb are feeding?
C#m       E      B        G#m
The end of fear for all hear,
C#m      G#m            C#m
The silent Word is speaking.

Chorus

C#m         E       B            G#m
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
C#m            A                G#
Come peasant king to love Him,
C#m            E            B        G#m
The King of kings, salvation brings,
C#m            G#m                C#m
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
E             B           G#m
Raise, raise the song on high,
C#m         A             G#
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
E           B            G#m
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
C#m           G#m         C#m
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
