Em G D Bm
What Child is this who, laid to rest
Em C B
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Em G D Bm
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
Em B Em
While shepherds watch are keeping?
G D Bm
This, this is Christ the King,
Em C B
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
G D Bm
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
Em B Em
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Em G D Bm
Why lies He in such mean estate,
Em C B
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Em G D Bm
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
Em B Em
The silent Word is pleading.
G D Bm
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
Em C B
The cross be borne for me, for you.
G D Bm
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
