What Child Is This Lyrics - Nylons

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 

This, this is Christ, the King 

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 

Haste, haste to bring him praise 

The Babe, the Son of Mary 

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh 

Come, peasant king to praise Him 

The king of kings all glory brings 

Let loving hearth enthrone Him 

Raise, raise the song on high 

Let singing fill the earth and sky 

Joy, joy, the Christ is born 

The Babe, the Son of Mary 

The Babe, the Son of Mary
