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 own Him The King of kings, salvation brings, Let 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!
(Rap) Now He was born of Mary, that very special day A lil' baby boy sleepin', down in a manager Strangers from afar, following a star, came to where He lay So they could see His face (yup) Joyful joyful, yeah we adore Thee Hail the Kings of kings, bow down before Thee Now we will sing that lullaby, lift Your name on high Sweet Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
We will sing a lullaby Lift you, lift you, lift you high
