What child is this?

1. What [Em] child is this?
Who [D] meant to rest on [C] Mary's lap is [B7] sleeping
Who [Em] angels greet with [D] anthem sweet
While [C] shepherds [B7] watch our [Em] keeping

[G] This, this is [D] Christ, the King
Whom [Em] shepherds guard and [B7] angels sing
[G] Haste, haste to [D] bring Him laud
The [C] babe, the [B7] Son of [Em] Mary

2. So [Em] bring him incense, [D] gold and myrrh
Come [C] peasant King to [B7] own him
The [Em] King of kings, [D] salvation brings
Let [C] loving [B7] hearts [Em] enthrone Him

[G] This, this is [D] Christ, the King
Whom [Em] shepherds guard and [B7] angels sing
[G] Haste, haste to [D] bring Him laud
The [C] babe, the [B7] Son of [Em] Mary

3. Nails fierce shall pierce him through
The cross be borne for me, for you
Hail, hail, the word made flesh
Obeyed the Son of Mary

This, this is Christ, the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the Son of Mary

4. Praise Him, Son of joy
Joy to the risen Lord
Praise Him, Son of joy
Joy to the risen Lord

This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the Son of Mary
