Text: | We Would See Jesus |

Tune: | CUSHMAN |
Composer: | Herbert B. Turner |
1 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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 and man in loving service met.
5 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.
Amen.
