Am7      D7        G       Em
What Child is this who, laid to rest
   Am7            Em     
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
     Am7    D7         G       Em
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
      Am        E7        Am
While shepherds watch are keeping?


C             G          Em
This, this is Christ the King,
     Am7                 Em
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
C                G         Em
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
    Am        E7     Am
The Babe, the Son of Mary.


    Am7     D7      G    Em
Why lies He in such mean estate,
      Am7             Em     
Where ox and ass are feeding?
     Am7         D7        G       Em
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
     Am    E7      Am
The silent Word is pleading.


C                  G          Em
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
    Am7                Em
The cross be borne for me, for you.
C              G         Em
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
    Am        E7     Am
The Babe, the Son of Mary.


   Am7       D7       G        Em
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
     Am7              Em     
Come peasant, king to own Him;
     Am7    D7        G     Em
The King of kings salvation brings,
     Am    E7     Am
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.


C              G       Em
Raise, raise a song on high,
    Am7              Em
The virgin sings her lullaby.
C            G         Em
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
    Am        E7     Am
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
