Em D C B7
What Child is this, who laid to rest, on Mary's lap is sleeping?
Em D Em B7 Em
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping?
G D Em B7
This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
G D Em B7 Em
This, this is Christ the King, the babe, the Son of Mary.
Em D C B7
Why lies He in such mean estate where ox and ass are feeding?
Em D Em B7 Em
Good Christian, fear, for sinners here the silent Word is pleading.
Em D C B7
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, come, peasant, king, to own Him.
Em D Em B7 Em
The King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him.
