Do You Hear What I Hear?

Here’s another Christmas song that brings me to tears with its pureness and simplicity. The words and music were written by husband and wife team Noel Regney & Gloria Shayne in 1962.

If you have five minutes and would like to read the origin of this song (it’s as beautiful as the song itself), click here to read an article on the making of a Christmas classic.

"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, oh, 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

A child, a child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
