Capo VII
Am G
(Am) What child is (C) this, who, (G) laid to rest
On (F) Mary's lap, is (E) slee(E7)ping?
Whom (Am) angels (C) greet with (G) anthems sweet,
While (F) shepherds (E) watch are (Am) keeping?
(C) This, this is (G) Christ the King,
Whom (F) shepherds guard and (E) angels (E7) sing:
(C) Haste, haste to (G) bring him laud,
The (F) Babe, the (E) Son of (Am) Mary!
So (Am) bring Him (C) incense, (G) gold, and myrrh,
Come (F) peasant king to (E) own (E7 Him,
The (Am) King of (C) kings, sal(G)vation brings,
Let (F) loving (E) hearts en(Am)throne Him.
(C) This, this is (G) Christ the King,
Whom (F) shepherds guard and (E) angels (E7) sing:
(C) Haste, haste to (G) bring him laud,
The (F) Babe, the (E) Son of (Am) Mary!
Extra verses :
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
Why lies he in such mean estate
where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
the silent Word is pleading.
