Capo 1

      Am                       G 
What Child is this who, laid to rest 
      Am              Em 
On Mary's lap is sleeping? 
          Am                        G 
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet, 
         Am            E              Am 
While shepherds watch are keeping? 


[Refrão]
  
C                 G 
This, this is Christ the King, 
           Am                           Em 
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing; 
C                       G 
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, 
       Am         E          Am 
The Babe, the Son of Mary. 


       Am                  G 
Why lies He in such mean estate, 
         Am                   E 
Where ox and ass are feeding? 
        Am                           G 
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here 
        Am   E          Am 
The silent Word is pleading. 


CHORUS 

     Am                         G 
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, 
          Am                     Em 
Come peasant, king to own Him; 
       Am                    G 
The King of kings salvation brings, 
      Am      E        Am 
Let loving hearts enthrone Him. 


CHORUS 

Am     G       Am      Em 


      Am                       G 
What Child is this who, laid to rest 
      Am      E       Am 
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
