Tekst piosenki
What child is thiswho laid to reston mary's lap is sleepingwhom angels greet with anthems sweetwhile shepherds watch are keepingthis, this is christ the kingwhom shepherds guard and angels singhaste, haste to bring him praisethe babe, the son of mary He lies in such a lowly placewhere ox and ass are feedingthe end of fear for all who hearthe silent word is speaking This, this is christ the kingwhom shepherds guard and angels singhaste, haste to bring him praisethe babe, the son of mary So bring him incense,gold and myrrh,come peasant king to love him;the king of kings salvation brings,let loving hearts enthrone him.This, this is christ the kingwhom shepherds guard and angels singhaste, haste to bring him praisethe babe, the son of mary Raise, raise the song on high,the virgin sings her lullaby:joy, joy for christ is born,the babe, the son of mary.
