We Would See Jesus (Park)

We would see Je­sus; lo! His star is shin­ing

Above the sta­ble while the an­gels sing;

There in a man­ger on the hay re­clin­ing;

Haste

let us lay our gifts be­fore the King.

We would see Je­sus

Ma­ry’s Son most ho­ly

Light of the vill­age life from day to day;

Shining re­vealed through ev­ery task most low­ly

The Christ of God

the life

the truth

the way.

We would see Je­sus

on the mount­ain teach­ing

With all the list­en­ing peo­ple ga­thered round;

While birds and flow­ers and sky above are preach­ing

The bless­ed­ness which sim­ple trust has found.

We would see Je­sus

in His work of heal­ing

At ev­en­tide be­fore the sun was set;

Divine and hu­man

in His deep re­veal­ing

Of God made flesh

in lov­ing serv­ice met.

We would see Je­sus

in the ear­ly morn­ing

Still as of old He call­eth

Fol­low Me!

Let us arise

all mean­er serv­ice scorn­ing;

Lord

we are Thine

we give our­selves to Thee.
