Lyrics
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? Why lies He in such mean estate, where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian fear; for sinners here the silent Word is pleading. So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, come pleasant, king, to own Him; the King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him. Theism this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary.
