[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am][Dm][G][Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
What [Am]child is this,
who, [G]laid [Em]to rest,
On [F]Mary's [Dm]lap is s[Esus4]leeping?
[E]Whom ang[Am]els greet with
[G]anthems sweet,
While [F]shepherds [E]watch are [Am]keep[Asus2]ing?
[Am]This, this is Chri[Asus4]st the Kin[Am]g,[Asus4][Am]
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing,
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary.

[Verse 2]
Why [Am]lies he in such [G]mean estate
Where [F]ox and [Dm]ass are f[Esus4]eeding?
[E]Good Chr[Am]istian, fear, for sin[G]ners here
[F]The silent [E]Word is [Am]pleading.
[Em]Nails, [C]spear shall pierce Him [G]through,
The Cross be [F]borne for me,
[Dm]for [Esus4]you;[E][Em]
[C]Hail, hail, the Word [G]made flesh,
The [F]Babe, [E]the Son of [F]Mary.[Dm]
[Am]

[Interlude 1]
[G][F][Dm][Esus4]
[E]

[Verse 3]
So [Am]bring him incense, [Asus4]gold, and myrrh,
[Am]Come, peasant, king, to own [E]him.[Am]
the King of kings sal[G]vation brings,
Let [F]loving [E]hearts en[Am]throne [Em]him.[C][G][F]
[Dm][Esus4][E][Em][C][G][Em][F][G]
[Em]Raise, [C]raise [G]the song on high,
The [F]Virgin [Dm]sing her [Esus4]lullaby,
[E]Joy[Em], joy[C], for Chr[G]ist is born,
The [F]Babe, the [E]Son of [Am]Mary.
