What Child Is This? 
William Chatterton Dix/Traditional. publ.1865


Dm                      C 
What Child is this, who laid to rest
   Dm            A 
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
     Dm                C 
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
      Dm        A         Dm 
While shepherds watch are keeping?


(Refrain)
F             C 
This, this is Christ the King
     Dm                  A 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
F               C 
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
    Dm        A      Dm 
The Babe, the Son of Mary.


Dm                  C 
Why lies he in such mean estate 
      Dm             A 
Where ox and ass are feeding?  
     Dm                  C 
Good Christian, fear for sinners here,
    Dm     A       Dm 
The silent Word is pleasing.

(Repeat Refrain)

Dm                    C 
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;
      Dm               A 
Come, peasant king, to own Him.
    Dm               C 
The King of Kings salvation brings;
    Dm     A      Dm 
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

(Repeat Refrain)
