What Child Is This? chords

What Amchild is this, who, Claid to rest
On FMary's lap, is E7sleeping?
Whom Amangels greet with Canthems sweet,
While Fshepherds E7watch are Amkeeping?
CThis, this is CChrist the King,
Whom Fshepherds guard and E7angels sing:
CHaste, haste to Cbring him laud,
The FBabe, the E7Son of AmMary!
Why Amlies he in such Cmean estate
Where Fox and ass are E7feeding?
Good AmChristian, fear for Csinners here,
The Fsilent E7Word is Ampleasing.
CThis, this is CChrist the King,
Whom Fshepherds guard and E7angels sing:
CHaste, haste to Cbring him laud,
The FBabe, the E7Son of AmMary!
CNails, spear shall Cpierce Him through,
The Fcross be borne for E7me, for you.
CHail, hail the CWord made flesh,
The FBabe, the E7Son of AmMary.
CThis, this is CChrist the King,
Whom Fshepherds guard and E7angels sing:
CHaste, haste to Cbring him laud,
The FBabe, the E7Son of AmMary!
So Ambring Him incense, Cgold, and myrrh,
Come Fpeasant king to E7own Him,
The AmKing of kings, salCvation brings,
Let Floving E7hearts enAmthrone Him.
CThis, this is CChrist the King,
Whom Fshepherds guard and E7angels sing:
CHaste, haste to Cbring him laud,
The FBabe, the E7Son of AmMary!
CRaise, raise the Csong on high,
The FVirgin sings her E7lullaby:
CJoy, joy, for CChrist is born,
The FBabe, the E7Son of AmMary!
