What Child Is This

	  		 

verse 1: 
     Em                D 
What Child is this who laid to rest 
   Em            Bm 
On Mary's lap is sleeping 
     Em                D 
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet 
      C         B         Em 
While shepherds watch are keeping? 


 
G             D 
This, this is Christ the King 
     Em                  Bm7 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 
G               D 
Haste, haste to bring Him laud 
    C         B7     Em    
The Babe, the Son of Mary 



verse 2: 
   Em    D/F# G 
So bring Him  incense 
D                   Em 
Gold and myrrh come peasant 
        Bm  
King to own Him 
    Em   D/F# G 
The King of   kings 
   D                  C      B7 
Salvation brings, let loving hearts  
  Em         D/F# 
Enthrone Him 


 
G              D/F#   
Raise, raise a song on high 
    Em               Bm7 
The virgin sings her lullaby 
G            D/F# 
Joy, joy for Christ is born 
    C         B7     Em   
The Babe, the Son of Mary 



 
   D/F# G             D/F# 
(Very)  This, this is Christ the King 
     Em                  Bm7 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing 
G               D/F# 
Haste, haste to bring Him laud 
    C         B7     Em   D/F#  
The Babe, the Son of Mary

N.C                 N.C 
Nails, spears shall pierce Him through

The Cross He bore for me, for you 
N.C.           N.C.              
Hail, hail the Word made flesh 
    N.C.      N.C.   N.C.
