Do you hear what I hear?
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringin' 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
Do you hear what I hear?
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king (King)
Do you know what I know? (Know, know)
In your palace warm, mighty king (King)
Do you know what I know? (Know, know)
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Do you hear what I hear?
Can you hear it?
Do you hear what I hear?
Can you hear it?
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
He will bring us goodness and light
Do you hear what I hear?
Can you hear it?
Do you hear what I hear?
Can you hear it?
Oh, oh
Do you hear what I hear? (Oh oh-oh-oh)
Oh, oh
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it?
