W:What child is this, who, laid to rest; On Mary's lap is sleeping?
W:Whom angels greet with anthems sweet; While shepherds watch are keeping?
W:This, this is Christ the king; Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
W:Haste, haste to bring Him laud; The babe, the son of Mary!

W:(William Chatterton Dix, 1865)
