Em,4 What Child is This William Chatterton Dix Em D What Child is this who, laid to rest Em C B7 On Mary's lap is sleeping? Em D Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, Em B7 Em While shepherds watch are keeping? Chorus G D This, this is Christ the King, Em Am B7 Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; G D Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, Em B7 Em 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. (Chorus) So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, Come peasant, king, to own Him; The King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him. (Chorus)
