Can't give you the lyrics, but here's a little trivia...

His name is Jester Hairston and he acted in the TV series Amos 'n Andy.
He played the dandy Henry Van Porter.

Is he still alive? If so, he's pushing 90.

He was also in the t.v. series "Amen". Did you know he has a doctorate
in music? I tried working my brain on this one, but I'm missing a few
lines. If you can, you may wish to go rent "Lillies Of The Field" with
Sidney Poitier. That's where I know the song from.
Good Luck and sorry I couldn't be more help.

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.

How's that??? <G>

See the baby,
Wrapped in a manger,
On Christmas mornin'

See him in the temple,
Talkin' with the elders
Who marveled at his wisdom.

See him at the Jordan
Where John was baptizin'
And savin all the sinners.

See him at the seaside
Talkin' to the fishermen
And makin' them disciples

Marchin' in Jerusalem
Over palm branches
In pomp and splendor.

See him in the garden
Prayin' to his father
In deepest sorrow.

Led before Pilate
Then they crucified him
But he rose on Easter

Hallelujah
he died to save us
And he lives forever

I tried to sing the verses at Christmas Midnight Mass the last five years,
but I blew the timing every time and had to spend Christmas in shame. I
didn't try it this year, and had a much nicer Christmas. If you can sing it
with the timing right, I'll be impressed.
