On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, O me, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him
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
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, oh joy, for Christ is born,
the Babe, the Son of Mary.
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, oh, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
