What Child is this who lay to rest On Mary's breast is sleeping Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherds watch is keeping To you this night a King is born He is the promised One God so loved the world He sends down His only Son Rich man poor man wise man be He will deliver all from trouble and grief Tidings of joy to the world The King is born No velvet or satin, no pillow for His head Straw from the stable low, to make the Baby's bed Angels come to shepherd in the hills and sing Emmanuel Tidings of joy to the world The King is born The Son of Man, the Prince of Peace Savior to us all A humble birth in Bethlehem, the greatest gift of all And all the Earth will know His Name And all the Earth will hear His Word Tidings of joy to the world The King is born
