Verse 1:
  
  Em          G        D 
Helpless and hungry, lowly afraid, 
  Em            C            B 
Wrapped in the chill of mid-winter 
  Em        G        D                     Em 
Comes now among us, born into poverty's embrace, 
     B             Em 
New life for the world 



 Em      G                       D 
Who is this who lives with the lowly, Sharing their sorrows, 
 C              B 
Knowing their hunger?  
         G                        D 
This is Christ, revealed to the world 
                  Em        B           Em            
In the eyes of a child, a child of the poor. 



Verse 1:
 
       Em      G           D 
What child is this, who, laid to rest, 
   Em      C      B 
On Mary's lap is sleeping? 
      Em       G        D 
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, 
       Em        B         Em 
While shepherds watch are keeping? 



 G             D 
This, this is Christ the King, 
                 C        B 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: 
 G               D 
Haste, haste to bring him laud, 
     Em        B      Em 
The babe, the son of Mary. 




Verse 2:

  Em          G        D 
Who is the stranger, here in our midst, 
  Em         C         B 
Looking for shelter among us? 
  Em         G        D                       Em 
Who is this outcast? Who do we see amidst the poor, 
       B         Em   
The children of God? 



 Em      G                       D 
Who is this who lives with the lowly, Sharing their sorrows, 
 C              B 
Knowing their hunger?  
         G                        D 
This is Christ, revealed to the world 
                  Em        B           Em            
In the eyes of a child, a child of the poor. 



Verse 2:
 
     Em      G        D 
Why lies he in such mean estate 
      Em      C        B 
Where ox and ass are feeding? 
      Em        G          D 
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here 
     Em     B         Em 
The silent Word is pleading. 



 G             D 
This, this is Christ the King, 
                 C        B 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: 
 G               D 
Haste, haste to bring him laud, 
     Em        B      Em 
The babe, the son of Mary. 

 


Verse 3:
 
   Em          G        D 
Bring all the thirsty, all who seek peace; 
  Em              C          B 
Bring those with nothing to offer, 
  Em            G       D                      
Strengthen the feeble, say to the frightened heart: 
      Em     B          Em 
"Fear not, here is your God!". 



 Em      G                       D 
Who is this who lives with the lowly, Sharing their sorrows, 
 C              B 
Knowing their hunger?  
         G                        D 
This is Christ, revealed to the world 
                  Em        B           Em            
In the eyes of a child, a child of the poor. 



Verse 3:
 
    Em        G        D 
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, 
       Em       C        B 
Come, peasant, king, to own him. 
     Em      G       D 
the King of kings salvation brings, 
     Em     B         Em 
Let loving hearts enthrone him. 



 G             D 
This, this is Christ the King, 
                 C        B 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: 
 G               D 
Haste, haste to bring him laud, 
     Em        B      Em 
The babe, the son of Mary.
