Jesu! Our Eternal King!

Jesu! Our eter­nal king!

Thy Epi­ph­any we sing

Manifested by Thy grace

To our lost and fall­en race.

O’er Thy cra­dle shone a star

Guiding pil­grims from afar

Bearing to their mak­er’s feet

Gold and myrrh and in­cense sweet.

In fair Jor­dan’s crys­tal wave

Thou wast merg­ed our souls to save;

To Thee came the heav’n­ly Dove

With the Fa­ther’s voice of love.

At the feast in Ga­li­lee

Wondering guests Thy glo­ry see;

Water owns Thy pow­er di­vine

Changing into rud­dy wine.

Jesu! Lord of life di­vine!

Let Thy star up­on us shine

Wash us with Thy sav­ing blood

Be Thy wine our sacr­ed food.

Till

up­borne in ser­aph’s wing

Heaven’s Epi­ph­any we sing

Praising with the an­gel host

Father

Son and Ho­ly Ghost.
