Josh Wilson's rendition of 'Do You Hear What I Hear' is a classic Christmas carol that tells the story of the birth of Jesus through a chain of characters—the night wind, a lamb, a shepherd boy, a king, and the people. Each verse builds anticipation, culminating in the announcement that a child, the Messiah, will bring goodness and light to the world. The song emphasizes the joy and hope of the Nativity, inviting listeners to reflect on the significance of Christ's arrival. It is a beloved seasonal hymn that has been covered by many artists.

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

Is 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 shepard boy

Do you hear what I hear

Ringing through the sky shepard boy

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 shepard boy to the mighty king

Do you know what I know

In your palace wall high and 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, silver and gold


Said the king to the people everywhere

Listen to what I say

Pray for peace people everywhere

Want you 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, and light


Do you hear what I hear

Do you hear what I hear
