(verse 1) 
Dm                      C  
What Child is this, who laid to rest 
   Dm            A  
On Mary's lap is sleeping? 
     Dm                C  
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet 
      Dm        A         Dm  
While shepherds watch are keeping? 
 
(chorus) 
F             C  
This, this is Christ the King 
     Dm                  A  
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. 
F               C  
Haste, haste to bring Him laud, 
    Dm        A      Dm  
The Babe, the Son of Mary. 
 
(verse 2) 
Dm                  C  
Why lies he in such mean estate  
      Dm             A  
Where ox and ass are feeding?   
     Dm                  C  
Good Christian, fear for sinners here, 
    Dm     A       Dm  
The silent Word is pleasing. 
 
(chorus) 
F             C  
This, this is Christ the King 
     Dm                  A  
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. 
F               C  
Haste, haste to bring Him laud, 
    Dm        A      Dm  
The Babe, the Son of Mary. 
 
(verse 3) 
Dm                    C  
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh; 
      Dm               A  
Come, peasant king, to own Him. 
    Dm               C  
The King of Kings salvation brings; 
    Dm     A      Dm  
Let loving hearts enthrone Him. 
 
(chorus) 
F             C  
This, this is Christ the King 
     Dm                  A  
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. 
F               C  
Haste, haste to bring Him laud, 
    Dm        A      Dm  
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
