This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Rest, rest to bring Him laud O babe, the Son of Mary So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh Come peasant, give Him to own The King of peace, salvation brings Yet loving hearts enthrone Him This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Rest, rest to bring Him laud O babe, the Son of Mary This, this is Christ the King Whom shepherds guard and angels sing Rest, rest to bring Him laud O babe, the Son of Mary
