[Verse 1]
     Am                  G
What Child is this who, laid to rest
    F              E
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
     Am                 G
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
      F         E         Am
While shepherds watch are keeping?

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

[Verse 2]
    Am               G
Why lies He in such mean estate,
      F                E
Where ox and ass are feeding?
     Am                     G
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
    F      E      Am
The silent Word is pleading.

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

[Verse 3]
   Am                 G
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
     F                 E
Come peasant, king to own Him;
    Am             G
The King of kings salvation brings,
    F      E      Am
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

[Chorus]
C             G          Em
This, this is Christ the King,

Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
C                G         Em
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
    Am        E      Am
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

[Chorus]
C             G          Em
This, this is Christ the King,

Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
C                G      Em
Joy, Joy, for Christ is born
    Am        E      A
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
