The Star Proclaims the King Is Here

The star pro­claims the King is here;

But

Her­od

why this sense­less fear?

He takes no realms of earth away

Who gives the realms of heav’n­ly day.

The wis­er Magi see from far

And follow on His guid­ing star;

And led by light

to light they press

And by their gifts their God con­fess.

Within the Jor­dan’s crys­tal flood

In meek­ness stands the Lamb of God

And

sin­less

sanc­ti­fies the wave

Mankind from sin to cleanse and save.

At Ca­na first His pow­er is shown;

His might the blush­ing waters own

And

chang­ing as He speaks the word

Flow wine

obe­di­ent to their Lord.

All glo­ry

Je­sus

be to Thee

For this Thy glad epi­pha­ny;

Whom with the Fa­ther we ad­ore

And Ho­ly Ghost for­ev­er­more.
