-<poem>
-. 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,
-Where ox and ass are feeding?
-Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
-The silent Word is pleading.
-Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
-The cross be borne for me, for you.
-Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
-The Babe, the Son of Mary.
-. So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
-Come peasant, king to own Him;
-The King of kings salvation brings,
-Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
-Raise, raise a song on high,
-The virgin sings her lullaby.
-Joy, joy for Christ is born,
-The Babe, the Son of Mary.</poem>
