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 laud   The babe, the son of Mary      Raise, raise the song on high   The virgin sings her lullaby   Joy, joy for Christ is born   The babe, the son of Mary
