What Child Is This? Lyrics - Jane Siberry

What child is this who's laid to rest 

On Mary's lap is sleeping? 

Whom angels greet with anthems sweet 

While shepherd's watch are keeping 

This, this is Christ the King 

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 

Haste, haste to bring him, Lord 

The babe, the son of Mary 

So bring him incense, gold and myrrh 

Come peasant, king to all of him 

The king of kings, celebration brings 

That loving hearts enthrone him 

Raise, raise the song on high 

The virgin sings her lullaby 

Joy, joy for Christ is born 

The babe, the son of Mary
