Some Children See Him

"Some Children See Him"
 (Alfred Burt/Whila Hutson)
 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!
