What Child Is This?

What child is this who laid to rest

On Mary's lap is sleeping

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

While shepherds watch are keeping

So bring him incense gold and myrrh

Come peasant king to own him

The king of kings salvation brings

Let loving hearts enthrone him

Raise raise the song on high

This mother sings her lullaby

Joy joy for Christ is born

The babe the son of Mary

Oh this is Christ alive

Oh this is Christ alive
