1 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?

Refrain:
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary!

2 Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading. [Refrain]

3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh;
Come, peasant, king, to own him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone him. [Refrain]

1 ¿Qué niño es éste que al dormir
en brazos de María, pastores velan,
ángeles le cantan melodías?

Estribillo:
Él es el Cristo, el Rey.
Pastores, ángeles cantad;
venid, venid a él, al hijo de María.

2 ¿Por qué en humilde establo así
el niño ha nacido?
Por todo injusto pecador
su amor ha florecido. [Estribillo]

3 Traed ofrendas en su honor,
el rey como el labriego.
Al Rey de reyes, Salvador,
un trono levantemos. [Estribillo]
