Joan Baez - What Child Is This

What Child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is 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 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.

The old year now is fled away
The new year it is entered
Then let us now our sins down tread
And joyfully all appear

Let's merry be this day
And let us now good sport and play
Hang let's cast care away
God send you a happy new year!
