Lyrics Greensleeves (What Child Is This) - Ray Conniff

What child is this
Who laid to rest on Mary's lap 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 pleasant king to hold him
The king of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him.

Raise, raise the son on high
The virgin sings their lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The babe was son of Mary
The babe was son of Mary.
