"What Child Is This" Lyrics

what child is this
who lay to rest
on Mary's lap is sleeping?
whom angel greet
with anthems sweet
while sheperds watch are keeping?

why lies he in such mean estate
where ox and lamb are feeding?
Good christian, fear:for all sinners here
the silent word is pleading

This, this is christ the king
whom sheperds guard
And angels sing
Haste, oh oh haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of mary
