INTRO: Am  C  G  Em  Am  E  Am  Asus2 
 
     Am       C         G       Em 
What child is this who, laid to rest 
   Am     F      E   E7 
On Mary's lap is sleeping? 
     Am     C          G       Em 
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet 
      Am        E         Am 
While shepherds watch are keeping? 
 
C             G          Em 
This, this is Christ the king 
     Am        F         E      E7 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 
C                G         Em 
Haste, haste, to bring him laud 
    Am        E      Am 
The babe, the son of Mary 
 
     Am       C         G       Em 
Why lies he in such mean estate 
   Am     F      E   E7 
Where ox and lamb are feeding? 
     Am     C          G       Em 
Good Christian fear, for sinners here 
      Am        E         Am 
The silent word is pleading 
 
C             G          Em 
Nails, spear shall pierce him through 
     Am        F         E      E7 
The cross be borne for me, for you 
C                G         Em 
Hail, Hail the Word made flesh, 
    Am        E      Am 
The babe, the son of Mary 
 
   Am        C        G        Em 
So bring him incense, gold and myrrh 
     Am       F       E   E7 
Come peasant, king to own him 
    Am      C      G         Em 
The king of kings, salvation brings 
    Am     E      Am 
Let loving hearts enthrone him 
 
C             G          Em 
Raise, raise the song on high 
     Am        F         E      E7 
The virgin sings her lullaby 
C                G         Em 
Joy, joy for Christ is born 
    Am        E      Am 
The babe, the son of Mary
