What child is this,who, laid to rest,
C B7
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Em D
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
C B7 Em
While shepherds watch are keeping.
G D
cho: This, this is Christ the King,
C Bm
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
G D
Haste, haste, to bring him laud
C 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.
Special thanks to Bruce Kula for 12-string guitar accompaniment.
Merry Christmas 1996! All the best ….. Roger
