Linda Eder - What Child Is This? Lyrics

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?

This this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud
The babe the son of Mary

So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant, king to own Him
The king of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

This, this is Christ the king
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud
The babe the son of Mary
