Some children see Him lily white,
|
The baby 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.
|
|
Some children see Him almond-eyed,
|
This Savior 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, too!
|
|
The children in each different place
|
Will see the baby Jesus' face
|
Like theirs, but bright with heavenly 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!
