          Em               A7  
What child is this, who, laid to rest,  
          D                G  
On Mary's lap is sleeping?  
          Em                A7  
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,  
          D                G  
While shepherds watch are keeping?  

          Em               A7  
This, this is Christ the King,  
          D               G  
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:  
          Em               A7  
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,  
          D                  G  
The babe, the son of Mary.  

          Em               A7  
Why lies He in such mean estate,  
          D                G  
Where ox and ass are feeding?  
          Em                A7  
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here  
          D                G  
The silent Word is pleading.  

          Em               A7  
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,  
          D               G  
The cross be borne for me, for you:  
          Em               A7  
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,  
          D                  G  
The babe, the son of Mary.
