(Click to listen.)
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!
Please visit Spiritual Sunday to fill your heart with joy.
He came for everyone.

The baby Jesus didn't stay a baby very long. Like the rest of us humans he began to grow and change. As we grow and change in God's light I'm reminded of something our Pastor said, "We are all only one decision from salvation." Somehow your words made me think of that!

I love this song. The first time I heard it was in a Christmas show my daughter, Ashley was performing in with The Young Americans.

Hi Beverly,
I first heard this song several years ago. At that time I was responsible for putting together a program for our second graders.
I used this song, and we had a mixed group of children featured on the microphone. It was so pretty!
Thanks for bring back the memories!

I have never heard this song before - how beautiful! I'd like to thank you for the sympathy that you offered over the sudden passing of my husband. I should be back to blogging sometime this week.
With love,
Sweetie

This is a lovely song for Christmas. I have a CD with James Taylor singing it and it's so peaceful and soothing. Love the message. Thanks for sharing.
All the best to you and yours in 2009!
