Tom: Am     
                                          
          Am                G
1. What child is this who laid to rest 
        F              E
    on Mary's lap is sleeping?
          Am                 G
    Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
            F              E         Am
    while shepherds their watch are keeping.
  C              G 
This, this is Christ, the King,
       Am                  E
whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
 C                 G
Haste, haste, to bring him love,
    Am         E      Am
the babe, the son of Mary.
        Am               G
2. Why lies he in such mean estate,
           F              E
    where ox and ass are feeding?
            Am                 G
    Good Christians fear and sinners hear
         F      E        Am
    the silent word is pleading.
     C                G                 Am                E
    Raise, raise the song on high, the virgin sings her lullaby.
     C               G                  Am         E     Am
    Joy, Joy, for Christ is born,  the babe, the son of Mary.
        Am                   G
3. The world is waiting for him to grow
         F                    E
    and wake up all who are sleeping.
          A              G
    Oh, blessed be this day forever,
          F         E        Am
    that saved us from our weeping.     + R e f r a i n
