Your presents are probably unwrapped, but before you wrap up your Christmas season, may your hearts reflect back over the words of this song. Remember, “The King of Kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone Him!”
What Child is this who laid to rest on Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet while shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud the babe the son of Mary
Why lies He in such mean estate while ox and ass are feeding
Good Christian fear for sinners here the silent Word is pleading
This, this is Christ the King whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud the babe the son of Mary
Nails and spears shall pierce Him through, the cross He bore for me, for you
Hail hail the Word made flesh the babe the son of Mary.
This, this is Christ the King whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud the babe the son of Mary
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrhh come peasant, king to own Him
The King of Kings salvation brings let loving hearts enthrone Him
This, this is Christ the King whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud the babe the son of Mary
Raise, raise the song on high the virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born the babe the Son of Mary
This, this is Christ the King whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud the babe the son of Mary
