Song Lyrics:
Em G D Bm
What Child is this, who, laid to rest,
Em Bm
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Em G D Bm
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
Em B7 Em
While shepherds watch are keeping?
chorus:
Bm G D Bm
This, this is Christ the King,
Em Bm
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
G D Bm
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
Em B7 Em
The babe, the son of Mary.
Em G D Bm
Why lies He in such mean estate
Em Bm
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Em G D Bm
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here
Em B7 Em
The silent word is pleading.
(chorus)
Em G D Bm
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Em Bm
Come, peasant, king, to own Him;
Em G D Bm
The King of kings salvation brings,
Em B7 Em
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
(chorus)
