Em                A  
What child is this, who, laid to rest,  
Em             G  
On Mary's lap is sleeping?  
D                     Em  
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,  
A                       Em  
While shepherds watch are keeping?  

Em                  A  
This, this is Christ the King,  
Em                 G  
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;  
D                  Em  
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,  
A                       Em  
The Babe, the Son of Mary.  

Em               A  
Why lies He in such mean estate,  
Em                 G  
Where ox and ass are feeding?  
D                   Em  
Good Christians, fear; for sinners here  
A                     Em  
The silent Word is pleading.  

Em                  A  
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,  
Em                  G  
The cross be borne for me, for you;  
D                  Em  
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,  
A                       Em  
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
