Some Children See Him
Andy Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some children see him lily white,
The baby jesus born this night,
Some children see him lily white,
With tresses soft and fair.
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 diff'rent 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!
The song "Some Children See Him" by Andy Williams is a Christmas song that talks about the different ways children see baby Jesus. The first verse talks about how some children see him as "lily white with tresses soft and fair," which is a representation of how Jesus is commonly portrayed in Western art. The second verse talks about how other children see him as "bronzed and brown with dark and heavy hair," which represents how Jesus might have looked historically as a Middle Eastern man. The third verse describes Jesus as "almond-eyed with skin of yellow hue," which reflects how he might have been portrayed in Eastern cultures. The final verse shows that no matter how different the children's views of Jesus are, they all still love and worship him.
The song's message about how we all see Jesus differently, yet ultimately still love and worship him, is a powerful reminder of the unity that can exist despite differences in cultures and beliefs. It is also a great way to educate children about different cultures and how they view Jesus.
