1 verse:
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
Chorus:
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
This, this is Christ the King
The Babe the Son of Mary
2 verse:
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding
Good Christian, fear for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
Chorus:
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
This, this is Christ the King
The Babe the Son of Mary
3 verse:
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come, peasant, king, to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
Chorus:
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
This, this is Christ the King
The Babe the Son of Mary
Tag:
This, this is Christ the King
The Babe the Son of Mary
