VERSE:

Am            C         G       Em
What Child is this, who laid to rest
   Am            E
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
     Am     C          G       Em
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
      Am        E         Am
While shepherds watch are keeping?

CHORUS:

C             G 
This, this is Christ the King
     Am                  E         
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
C               G 
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
    Am        E      Am              
The Babe, the Son of Mary.


VERSE:


Am          C       G     Em       
Why lies he in such mean estate 
      Am             E            
Where ox and ass are feeding?  
     Am         C        G       Em  
Good Christian, fear for sinners here,
    Am     E       Am 
The silent Word is pleasing.

C             G 
This, this is Christ the King
     Am                  E         
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
C               G 
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
    Am        E      Am              
The Babe, the Son of Mary.



VERSE:

Am           C        G        Em      
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;
      Am               E             
Come, peasant king, to own Him.
    Am      C        G      Em 
The King of Kings salvation brings;
    Am     E          Am 
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
C               G 
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
    Am        E      Am              
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
