And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” ~Mark 16:15

Said the King, pray for peace, people everywhere. I pray for peace, I also pray I will be able to ‘Go into all the world to proclaim the gospel.’ I feel the two go hand in hand. I didn’t know until I read the history of this song that it was composed as a plea for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The link to the history of the song can be found below.

DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR? by Gloria Shayne & Noël Regney (1962)

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
(Do you hear what I hear)
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear
(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 wall mighty king
Do you know what I know
(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
(Listen to what I say)Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
(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
