Some Children See Him

 This song is also a beautiful piece of music, very poignant.  I have Ms. Carroll on several records singing this and I love her version.  Maybe it's because it is the one that I grew up hearing at home during Christmas, but still it's lovely.  I actually learned, while watching an old holiday episode of the Lawrence Welk Show (can't help it lol)  that the writer of these lyrics, Alfred Burt, was a jazz musician who gave carols as Christmas cards for over a decade.  This is one of his Christmas cards, actually.  He also wrote "This is Christmastime", "Caroling, Caroling" and "The Star Carol".  Sadly, he passed away at age 33.  I can only imagine the wonderful things he would have created if he had lived longer.  Still, it's a beautiful song.  Enjoy!
