Sleeping at Last – What Child Is This (Guitar)

      Am                G
What Child is this who, laid to rest

   Am            Em
On Mary's lap is sleeping?

     Am                G
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,

      Am        E         Am
While shepherds watch are keeping?

C             G
This, this is Christ the King,

     Am                  Em
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;

C                G
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,

    Am        E      Am
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

    Am              G
Why lies He in such mean estate,

      Am             E
Where ox and ass are feeding?

     Am                    G
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here

    Am     E       Am
The silent Word is pleading.

Am                    G
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,

     Am               Em
Come peasant, king to own Him;

    Am               G
The King of kings salvation brings,

    Am     E      Am
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Am                      G
What Child is this who, laid to rest

   Am     E      Am
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
