The Fifth Day of Christmas: Some Children See Him






James Taylor sings Some Children See Him.

I first heard this carol when I was a young child - my parents had a Tennessee Ernie Ford Christmas album with this song on it, and it has always been one of my favorites.  I guess hearing it as a child and knowing it was a Christmas song about children's experience made it particularly appealing to me.

Enjoy.

Penny this is a Hal Burt carol. I love all of his carols. He too was an Episcopalian and each year he wrote a song and sent it as his christmas card. This was one of them. "Caroling Caroling" was another. Enjoy!

I meant to say Alfred Burt. Not Hal. Geez.

Thanks, Parlee! I didn't know that Burt was an Episcopalian or that his songs started out as Christmas cards. Thanks for sharing that info! Christmas blessings to all the Chambers clan!

This is a lovely carol. It is hard to go wrong with either Ernie Ford or James Taylor.

Yep! And it's extra special to me because I remember it from my childhood.
