Text: | Songs of thankfulness and praise |
Author: | Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 |
Tune: | TICHFIELD |
Composer: | John Richardson, 1816 - 79 |
1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, 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 addrest,
God in Man made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
And at Cana wedding guest
In thy God-head manifest;
Manifest in power divine,
Changing water into wine:
Anthems be to thee addrest,
God in Man made manifest. A-men.
3 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 addrest,
God in Man made manifest.
4 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.
Amen.
