What Child is This?

What Child Is This? By: Catherine Altomare 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 Bring him incense, gold, and myrrh Come peasant king to own him The king of kings, salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone him Raise, raise the song on high The Virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy, for Christ is born The babe, the son of Mary This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Haste, haste to bring him laud The babe, the son of Mary
