What Child Is This Anyway?

Lyrics

What child is this who lays to rest
 On Mary's lap is sleeping?
 Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
 While shepards watch are keeping
 This, this is Christ the King
 Whom shepards guard and angels sing
 Haste, haste to bring him love
 The Babe, the Son of Mary
 Why lies he in such mean estate,
 Where ox and ass are feeding?
 Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
 The silent Word is pleading
 Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
 The cross be borne for me, for you.
 Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
 The Babe, the Son of Mary.
 So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
 Come peasant, king to own Him;
 The King of kings salvation brings,
 Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
