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 hear what i hear?

In your palace warm, mighty king,

Do you hear what i hear?

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"
