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 heaven 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 th infant King.
'Tis love that's born tonight!

As much as I complain about South Carolina I knew a preacher from here that said if the color of Jesus's skin is an issue with anyone those people completely miss the message he was spreading.
