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 This, this is Christ, the king Whom shepherds guard And angels sing Haste, haste to bring him laud The babe, the son of Mary Raise, raise the song on high The virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born The babe, the son of Mary
