Cm        D#         A#          Gm 
What child is this, who, laid to rest 
Cm        G#             G 
On Mary's lap, is sleeping? 
Cm          D#        A#           Gm 
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, 
Cm       Gm             Cm 
While shepherds watch are keeping? 
 
Chorus: 
D#          A#             Gm 
This, this is Christ the King, 
Cm         G#                G 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: 
D#          A#               Gm 
Haste, haste to bring him praise, 
Cm         G            Cm 
The Babe, the Son of Mary! 
Cm       D#        A#         Gm 
He lies in such a lonely place, 
Cm        G#            G 
Where ox and lamb are feeding? 
Cm       D#      A#        Gm 
The end of fear for all hear, 
Cm      Gm            Cm 
The silent Word is speaking. 
 
Chorus 
 
Cm         D#       A#            Gm 
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, 
Cm            G#                G 
Come peasant king to love Him, 
Cm            D#            A#        Gm 
The King of kings, salvation brings, 
Cm            Gm                Cm 
Let loving hearts enthrone Him. 
D#             A#           Gm 
Raise, raise the song on high, 
Cm         G#             G 
The Virgin sings her lullaby: 
D#           A#            Gm 
Joy, joy, for Christ is born, 
Cm           Gm         Cm 
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
