Tune: | O HEILAND, REISS DIE HIMMEL AUF |
1 The star proclaims the King is here;
But, Herod, why this senseless fear?
For he who came from heaven's throne
Does not desire an earthly crown.
2 The wiser Magi saw from far
And followed on his guiding star,
And, led by light, to Light they pressed
And by their gifts their God confessed.
3 Within the Jordan River stood
The pure and holy Lamb of God;
The Father's voice, the Spirit-dove,
Confirmed the Savior from above.
4 At Cana -- miracle divine --
When water reddened into wine,
The faithful saw his glory shown
And put their trust in him alone.
5 All glory unto Jesus be
And praise for his epiphany,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Spirit evermore.
