Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
What [Am]Child is [C]this, who [G]laid to rest
On [Am]Mary's [Dm]lap is s[E]leeping?
Whom [Am]angels [C]greet with [G]anthems sweet
While [Am]shepherds [E]watch are [Am]keeping?

[Chorus 1]
[C]This, this is [G]Christ, the King
Whom [Am]shepherds [Dm]guard and [E]angels sing
[C]Haste, haste to [G]bring Him laud
The [Am]Babe, the [E]Son of [Am]Mary!

[Verse 2]
Why [Am]lies He [C]in such [G]mean estate
Where [Am]ox and a[Dm]ss are fe[E]eding?
Good [Am]Christians [C]fear for [G]sinners here
The [Am]silent [E]Word is [Am]pleading

[Chorus 2]
[C]This, this is [G]Christ, the King
Whom [Am]shepherds [Dm]guard and [E]angels sing
[C]Haste, haste to [G]bring Him laud
The [Am]Babe, the [E]Son of [Am]Mary!

[Verse 3]
So [Am]bring Him [C]incense, [G]gold and myrrh
Come, [Am]peasant, [Dm]king to [E]own Him
The [Am]King of [C]kings sal[G]vation brings
Let [Am]loving [E]hearts en[Am]throne Him

[Chorus 3]
[C]This, this is [G]Christ, the King
Whom [Am]shepherds [Dm]guard and [E]angels sing
[C]Haste, haste to [G]bring Him laud
The [Am]Babe, the [E]Son of [Am]Mary!
