[00:54.50]What child is this, who, laid to rest
[00:59.45]On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
[01:04.68]Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
[01:09.86]While shepherds watch are keeping?
[01:15.22]Why lies He in such mean estate,
[01:20.32]Where ox and ass are feeding?
[01:25.62]Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
[01:30.75]The silent Word is pleading.
[01:36.22]This, this is Christ the King,
[01:41.24]Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
[01:46.54]Haste, haste to bring him laud,
[01:51.64]The Babe, the Son of Mary!
[01:57.03]Raise, raise the song on high,
[02:02.10]The Virgin sings her lullaby:
[02:07.50]Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
[02:12.47]The Babe, the Son of Mary!
