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?






Continued on next two pages. PAGE 73 OF 80








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 CHRISTIAN, 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!

PAGE 74 OF 80








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, THE SONG ON HIGH, THE VIRGIN SINGS HER LULLABY, JOY, JOY, FOR CHRIST IS BORN, THE BABE, THE SON OF MARY!
