Preface



Do You Hear What I Hear is a Christmas song that we usually hear in choral groups and in churches. This song is all about the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ and how we should be more than appreciative for His coming to the world to save us.

History of Do You Hear What I Hear

The lyrics for this Christmas song were of Noël Regney’s making while its music can be accredited to Gloria Shayne Baker. The couple was married at that time and wrote it as an appeal for harmony during the Cuban Missile catastrophe. It was first sung by the Harry Simeone Chorale way back in 1962 and sold millions of copies. Since then, the song has been covered by hundreds of various artists across the globe.

Bing Crosby made the song an overwhelming success when he recorded his personal rendition of Do You Hear What I Hear a year after the original one came out. His version has been a chosen favorite by the majority of listeners.

Do You Hear What I Hear Lyrics

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."

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."
