Darlene Zschech and HopeUC perform the classic Christmas carol "Do You Hear What I Hear?" The song tells the story of the night wind speaking to a little lamb about a star, the lamb telling a shepherd boy about a song, and the shepherd boy telling a mighty king about a child shivering in the cold. It calls for bringing gifts to the child and praying for peace everywhere, as the child will bring goodness and light. The carol celebrates the birth of Jesus and the hope He brings to the world.

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
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
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?
