Do You Hear What I Hear


Noel Regney and Gloria Shayne

Arr. Ainsworth



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.


Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy:
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing thru the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song
High above the tree,
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.


Said the king to the people everywhere:
Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people everywhere,
Listen to what I say!
A Child, a Child
Sleeping in the night,
He will bring us goodness and light.
