what child is this?

What child is this
Who laid to rest
On Marys 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
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and donkeys are feeding
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
The cross be borne for me, foe you.
Hail, hail the World made flesh
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
