Author: J. Edgar Park, 1879-1956 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #35 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: We would see Jesus! Lo, his star is shining Lyrics: 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 on the mountain teaching,
with all the list'ning people gathered round,
while birds and flowers and sky above are preaching
the blessedness which simple trust has found.
3 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 humankind in service met.
4 We would see Jesus; in the early morning
still as of old he calls us, "Follow me";
let us arise, all lesser service scorning,
Lord, we are thine, we give ourselves to thee! Topics: Christmas; Discipleship; Epiphany; Healing; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ's Humanity; Jesus Christ's Life Scripture: John 12:21-23 Languages: English Tune Title: MORA PROCTOR
