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 is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
From our hearts our praises ring
To the Babe, the Son of Mary
Oh, raise a song on high
His Mother sings her lullaby

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 is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing

From our hearts our praises ring
To the Babe, the Son of Mary
Oh, raise a song on high
His Mother sings her lullaby

This is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
From our hearts our praises ring
To the Babe, the Son of Mary
Oh, raise a song on high
His Mother sings her lullaby

This is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
From our hearts our praises ring
To the Babe, the Son of Mary
Oh, raise a song on high
His Mother sings her lullaby

1. Christ is the King! O friends, rejoice;
brothers and sisters, with one voice
let the world know he is your choice.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

2. Oh magnify the Lord, and raise
anthems of joy and holy praise
for Christ's brave saints of ancient days.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

3. They with a faith forever new
followed the King, and round him drew
thousands of faithful servants true.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

4. O Christian women, Christian men,
all the world over, seek again
the way disciples followed then.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

5. Christ through all ages is the same:
place the same hope in his great name,
with the same faith his word proclaim.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

6. Let love's unconquerable might
your scattered companies unite
in service to the Lord of light.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

7. So shall God's will on earth be done,
new lamps be lit, new tasks begun,
and the whole church at last be one.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

Representative Text

1 Come, friends sing, of the faith that’s so dear to me,
Revealed thro’ God’s Son, in Galilee;
He brought peace on earth and good will to the sons of men,
Go tell it to the world, her King reigns again.

Chorus:
I am so happy in Jesus,
Captivity’s Captor is He;
Angels rejoice when a soul’s saved,
Some day we like Him shall be,
Sorrow and joy have the same Lord,
Valley of shadows shall sing;
Death has its life, its door opens in heaven eternally,
Christ is King.

2 Crucified, thus He suffered and bled for me,
Death and the grave won sin’s victory;
Then the sky grew dark and the temple veil rent in twain,
Rocks rent, and angels came, for He lived again. (Chorus)

3 At His feet, on old Olivet’s Hill, they say,
Cloud chariots halted, took Christ away;
Then the angels came and to wond’ring disciples said
He’ll come, and earth and sea shall yield up their dead. (Chorus)
