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

 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, 

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,

 

Greensleeves was my all my joy

 Greensleeves was my delight

Greensleeves was my heart of gold

And who but my lady greensleeves

 

This, this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing

Haste, haste to bring him laud

The babe, the son of Mary
