{comment: Verse 1}
What [Dm]Child is [F]this, who [C]laid to [Am]rest
On [Bb]Mary's [Gm]lap is sl[A7]eeping?
Whom [Dm]angels [F]greet with [C]anthems [Am]sweet,
While [Dm]shepherds [A7]watch are [Dm]keeping.

{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1}
[F]This, this is [C]Christ the King,
Whom [Dm]shepherds guard and [Bb]angels [A7]sing;
[F]Haste, haste to [C]bring Him laud,
The [Dm]babe, the [A7]son of [Dm]Mary.
{end_of_chorus}

{comment: Verse 2}
Why [Dm]lies He [F]in such [C]mean es[Am]tate,
Where [Bb]ox and [Gm]ass are [A7]feeding?
Good [Dm]Christians, [F]fear, for [C]sinners [Am]here
The [Dm]silent [A7]Word is [Dm]pleading.

{start_of_chorus: Chorus 2}
[F]Nails, spear shall [C]pierce Him through,
The [Dm]cross be borne for [Bb]me, for [A7]you.
[F]Hail, hail the [C]Word made flesh,
The [Dm]Babe, the [A7]Son of [Dm]Mary.
{end_of_chorus}

{comment: Verse 3}
So [Dm]bring Him [F]incense, [C]gold, and [Am]myrrh,
Come, [Bb]peasant, [Gm]king, to [A7]own Him;
The [Dm]King of [F]kings sal[C]vation [Am]brings,
Let [Dm]loving h[A7]earts en[Dm]throne Him.

{start_of_chorus: Chorus 3}
[F] Raise, raise a [C]song on high,
The [Dm]Virgin sings her [Bb]lullab[A7]y.
[F]Joy, joy for [C]Christ is born,
The [Dm]Babe, the [A7]Son of [Dm]Mary.
