Verso 1

What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Who angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping

Refrão

This this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud
This babe the son of Mary

Verso 2

So bring Him incense gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to own Him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Refrão

This this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud
This babe the son of Mary

Verso 3

Now let our praises ring this night
All heaven and earth together
The light of love is born to us
Exalt His name forever

Refrão

This this is Christ the King
Let every tongue and nation sing
Praise praise His holy name
The saving son of Mary
