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?
Peace, peace, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Peace, peace, to bring him laud to 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
Rise, rise this song on high, the virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born, the babe, the son of Mary
