Em       G         D
What child is this,who, laid to rest,

   Em       C      B7
On Mary's lap is sleeping?

     Em     G          D
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

      C         B7        Em
While shepherds watch are keeping.


	Chorus
	Bm    G         D          Bm
	This, this is Christ the King,

             Em        Am         B7
	Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

	Bm     G          D         Bm
	Haste, haste, to bring him laud

	    Em        B7     Em
	The Babe, the Son of Mary.


Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here,
The silent Word is pleading.

REPEAT CHORUS

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!

REPEAT CHORUS

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;
Come peasant, king to own Him.
The King of Kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

REPEAT CHORUS

Raise, raise, the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

REPEAT CHORUS
