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
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
Raise, raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for christ is born
The babe, the son of mary
Praise emmanuel
From the rising of the sun
'Till the end of every day
Praise emmanuel
All the nations of the earth
All the angels and the saints
Sing praise
Praise emmanuel
From the rising of the sun
'Till the end of every day
Praise emmanuel
All the nations of the earth
All the angels and the saints sing
Praise emmanuel
From the rising of the sun
'Till the end of every day
Praise emmanuel
All the nations of the earth
All the angels and the saints
Sing praise
What child is this
Emmanuel
What child is this
Emmanuel
