What child is this?

	  		(verse 1)   
          Em   Am  Em           D        Bm 
What Child  is  this, who, laid to rest,   
       C        Am     B7    
On Mary's lap is sleeping?   
          Em  Am  Em           D           Bm 
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet   
           Em            B7           Em    
While shepherds watch are keeping?   
  
 
 G                   D           Bm 
This, this is Christ the King   
            C              Am           B7    
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.   
  G                      D             Bm 
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,   
       Em            B7      Em    
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
   
   
   
	(verse 2)   
       Em  Am  Em         D         Bm 
Why lies  he  in such mean estate    
           C         Am         B7   
Where ox and ass are feeding?     
          Em  Am    Em       D          Bm 
Good Christian, fear for sinners here,   
        Em     B7       Em    
The silent Word is pleading.  
  
 
  G                          D               Bm 
Nails, spear shall pierce him through, 
        C            Am          B7 
The cross be borne for me, for you. 
  G                  D               Bm 
Hail, hail the Word made flesh, 
        Em            B7       Em 
The babe, the son of Mary.
  

  
(verse 3)   
      Em   Am  Em           D           Bm 
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;   
            C           Am        B7    
Come, peasant king, to own Him.   
       Em   Am  Em        D         Bm 
The King of  Kings salvation brings;   
        Em      B7          Em    
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.  
  
 
   G                      D         Bm 
Raise, raise the song on high! 
         C      Am           B7 
The virgin sings her lullaby. 
  G                   D        Bm 
Joy! Joy! for Christ is born, 
        Em           B7     Em 
The babe, the son of Mary.
