Introduction:
Dm C
What Child is this, who laid to rest
Dm A
On Mary's lap is sleeping?

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
Dm A Dm
While shepherds watch are keeping?
(Chorus)

This, this is Christ the King
Dm A
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
F C
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
Dm A Dm
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
(verse 2)

Why lies he in such mean estate
Dm A
Where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christian, fear for sinners here,
Dm A Dm
The silent Word is pleasing.
(Chorus)

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Dm A
Come, peasant king, to own Him.

The King of Kings salvation brings
Dm A Dm
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
(Chorus)
