Do You Hear What I Hear?

Said the night wind to the little lamb,
"Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky, little lamb?
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night,
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite."

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
"Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy?
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song, high above the trees,
With a voice as big as the sea,
With a voice as big as the sea."

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
"Do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king?
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold,
Let us bring Him silver and gold,
Let us bring Him silver and gold."

Said the king to the people everywhere,
"Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere!
Listen to what I say,
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night,
He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light."
