What Child Is This?

This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Peace on earth, and hope he brings The babe, the son of Mary 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? What child is this, the precious one Came down to earth to free us Against the tide and great divide Both hell and death defeated This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Peace on earth, and hope he brings The babe, the son of Mary What child is this, the king that’s crowned As man’s empires are falling It makes no difference who you are When Christ the King is calling
