Mary Did You Know / 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?

Mary did you know

That your baby boy

is Lord of all creation?

Mary did you know

That your baby boy

will one day rule the nations?

This, this is Christ, the King,

Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:

Haste, haste to bring Him laud,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Why lies He in such mean estate,

Where ox and ass are feeding?

Good Christian, fear: for sinners here

The silent Word is pleading.

Nails, spear shall pierce Him through

The cross be borne for me, for you

Hail, hail the Word made flesh

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

The blind will see

The deaf will hear

And the dead will live again

The lame will leap

The dumb will speak

The praises of the Lamb!

Raise, raise a song on high

The virgin sings her lullaby

Joy, joy for Christ is born

The Babe, the Son of Mary

Mary did you know

He's the Great I Am!
