What Child Is This? |
| The first Noël |
| The angels did say |
| Was to certain poor shepherds |
| In fields as they lay |
| In fields where they |
| Lay keeping their sheep |
| On a cold winter’s night |
| That was so deep |
| Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël |
| Born is the King of Israel |
| Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël |
| Born is the King of Israel |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| This, this is Christ the King, |
| Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing; |
| Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, |
| The Babe, the Son of Mary. |
