What Child Is This?/The Holly and the Ivy (Medley) [2006 Remaster]
guitar chords lyrics
What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While the good shepherds watch are keeping
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, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
Oh raise, oh raise this song on high
His mother sings her lullaby
Oh joy, oh joy for Christ is born
Oh raise, oh raise this song on high
His mother sings her lullaby
Oh joy, oh joy for Christ is born
The babe and the son of Mary
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees
That are in the wood,
The holly wears the crown
The rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour
The rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
