Some Children See Him

Rufus:
Some children see him lilywhite, the baby Jesus born this night
Some children see him lilywhite, with tresses soft and fair

Some children see him, bronzed and brown
The Lord of Heaven to earth, come down
Some children see him, bronzed and brown
With dark and heavy hands

Martha:
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

Chorus:
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
