Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: Sing Joyfully #202 (1989) First Line: What Child is this, who, laid to rest Refrain First Line: This, this is Christ the King Lyrics: 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;
This, this is Christ the King,
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)
