What Child is This?

Greensleeves, traditional tune. Words by William DIx
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
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laude
The babe, the son of Mary
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come rich and poor to own Him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
