Some
Children See Him
By
Alfred Burt
Some children see Him lily white
the infant Jesus born this
night
Some children see Him lily
white
with tresses soft and fair
Some children see Him bronzed
and brown
the Lord of heav'n to earth
come down
Some children see Him bronzed
and brown
with dark and heavy hair (with dark and heavy hair!)
Some children see Him almond-eyed
This Saviour whom we kneel
beside
Some children see Him
almond-eyed
With skin of yellow hue!
Some children see Him dark as
they
Sweet Mary's Son to whom we
pray
Some children see Him dark as
they
And, ah! they love Him so!
The children in each different
place
Will see the Baby Jesus' face
Like theirs but bright with
heav'nly grace
And filled with holy light!
O lay aside each earthly thing
and with thy heart as offering
Come worship now the infant
King
'tis love that's born tonight!
'tis love that's born tonight!
