[Verse 1]
Some Gchildren see Him Am/Glily white,
The Embaby Jesus Bmborn this night.
Some Gchildren see Him Am/Glily white,
With G/Btresses Dsussoft and fGair.
Some cBmhildren see Him bEmronzed and brown,
The LCord of heav'n to eEmarth come dEown.
Some Gchildren see Him Am/Gbronzed and brown,
With G/Bdark and Dsusheavy hGair.
[Verse 2]
Some Gchildren see Him Am/Galmond-eyed,
This SEmaviour whom we kBmneel beside.
Some Gchildren see Him Am/Galmond-eyed,
With G/Bskin of Dsusyellow hueG.
Some cBmhildren see Him dEmark as they,
Sweet CMary's Son to Emwhom we pEray.
Some Gchildren see him Am/Gdark as they,
And, G/Bah! they Dsuslove Him, Gtoo!
[Verse 3]
The cGhildren in each dAm/Gifferent place
Will Emsee the bBmaby Jesus' face
Like Gtheirs, but bright with Am/Gheavenly grace,
And fG/Billed with Dsusholy lGight.
O lBmay aside each eEmarthly thing
And wCith thy heart as EmofferiEng,
Come Gworship now the iAm/Gnfant King.
'Tis G/Blove that's Dsusborn   toniGght!
