watch are
keeping?
This, this is Christ,
the King,
Whom shepherds
guard and angels
sing:

in such

The silent
Word is
pleading.

the King,
Whom shepherds

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
This, this is Christ,
the King,
Whom shepherds
guard and angels
sing:
 “Haste, haste to
bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son
of Mary!”
