WHAT CHILD IS THIS WHO, LAID TO REST<\/p>\n

ON MARY’S LAP, IS SLEEPING? WHOM ANGELS GREET<\/p>\n

WITH ANTHEMS SWEET; WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCH<\/p>\n

ARE KEEPING?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

THIS, THIS IS CHRIST THE KING, WHOM SHEPHERDS GUARD<\/p>\n

AND ANGELS SING,
\nHASTE, HASTE, TO BRING HIM LAUD, THE BABE, THE SON OF MARY!<\/p>\n

WHY LIES HE IN
\nSUCH MEAN ESTATE<\/p>\n

WHERE OX AND ASS ARE FEEDING? GOOD CHRISTIAN, FEAR,<\/p>\n

FOR SINNERS HERE
\nTHE SILENT WORD IS PLEADING.<\/p>\n

NAILS, SPEAR SHALL PIERCE HIM THROUGH. THE CROSS BE BORNE FOR ME, FOR YOU,
\nHAIL, HAIL THE WORD MADE FLESH, THE BABE, THE SON OF MARY!<\/p>\n

SO BRING HIM INCENSE, GOLD AND MYRRH,<\/p>\n

COME PEASANT, KING TO OWN HIM. THE KING OF KINGS<\/p>\n

SALVATION BRINGS, LET LOVING HEARTS ENTHRONE HIM.<\/p>\n
