      A#m                G#
What Child is this, Who laid to rest
    F#              F
On Mary's lap is sleeping
     A#m               G#
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet
        F#       G#        A#m
While shepherds watch are keeping

Chorus:
          F#
This is Christ the King
                         C#
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
                     F#
From our hearts our praises ring
                         C#
To the Babe, the Son of Mary
     G#             F#
Oh, raise a song on high
            G#           F#
His Mother sings her lullaby

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant King to own Him
The King of Kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Chorus - x3
