What Child Is This


     Em       G         D
What child is this,who, laid to rest,

   C             B7
On Mary's lap is sleeping?

     Em     G          D
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet

      C         B7        Em
While shepherds watch are keeping.


	Chorus
	G             D          Bm
	This, this is Christ the King,

             Em        C         B7
	Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

	G                D         Bm
	Haste, haste, to bring him laud

	    Em        B7     Em
	The Babe, the Son of Mary. 


Why lies He in such mean estate,  
Where ox and ass are feeding?  
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here  
The silent Word is pleading. 


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