Said the night wind to the little lamb

do you see what I see? ( do you see what I see? )

Way up in the sky, little lamb

do you see what I see ( 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? ( do you hear what I hear? )

Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,

do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )



A song, a song, high above the tree

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? ( do you know what I know? )

In your palace warm, mighty king

do you know what I know? ( 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 ( said the king to the people everywhere! )

listen to what I say ( listen to what I say! )

Pray for peace, people everywhere ( pray for peace, people everywhere! )

listen to what I say ( 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!



Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )

Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )

Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
