Do you hear what I hear? Do you hear what I hear? Do you hear what I hear?
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"
Do you hear what I hear?
Don oíche úd i mBeithil Beidh tagairt faoi ghrian go brách Don oíche úd i mBeithil Go dtáinig an Briathar slán Tá gríosghrua ar spéartha 'S an talamh 'na chlúdach bán Féach Íosagán sa chléibhín 'S an Mhaighdean in aoibhneas grá
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"
Listen to what I say Do you know what I know? Do you hear what I hear? Do you hear what I hear?

To that night in Bethlehem Forever under the sun To that night in Bethlehem That the word safely came There are red-hot edges on the sky And the ground in a white covering Look at baby Jesus without a crib And the Virgin in delighted love
