Songs of thankfulness and praise
Jesu
Lord
to Thee we raise;
Manifested by the star
To the sages from afar;
Branch of royal David’s stem
In Thy birth at Bethlehem;
Anthems be to Thee addressed
God in man made manifest.
Manifest at Jordan’s stream
Prophet
Priest
and King supreme;
And at Cana
wedding guest
In Thy Godhead manifest;
Manifest in power divine
Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to Thee addressed
God in man made manifest.
Manifest in making whole
Palsied limbs and fainting soul;
Manifest in valiant fight
Quelling all the devil’s might;
Manifest in gracious will
Ever bringing good from ill;
Anthems be to Thee addressed
God in man made manifest.
Sun and moon shall darkened be
Stars shall fall
the heav’ns shall flee
Christ will then like lightning shine
All will see His glorious sign:
All will then the trumpet hear;
All will see the Judge appear.
Thou by all wilt be confessed
God in man made manifest.
Grant us grace to see Thee
Lord
Mirrored in Thy holy Word;
May we imitate Thee now
And be pure
as pure art Thou;
That we like to Thee may be
At Thy great Epiphany;
And may praise Thee
ever blest
God in man made manifest.
