| 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 |

| Haste, haste to | bring Him laud, |

| (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 sal | vation brings; |
| Dm | A | Dm | |
| Let | loving | hearts | enthrone Him. |
