Sing of God Made Manifest

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Sing of God made manifest in a child robust and blest, to whose home in Bethlehem where a star had guided them, Magi came and gifts unbound, signs mysterious and profound: myrrh and frankincense and gold grave and God and King foretold. 2 Sing of God made manifest when at Jordan John confessed, "I should be baptized by you, but your bidding I will do." Then from heaven a double sign-- dove-like Spirit, voice divine-- hailed the true Anointed One: "This is my beloved Son." 3 Sing of God made manifest when Christ came as wedding-guest and at Cana gave a sign, turning water into wine; further still was love revealed as he taught, forgave, and healed, bringing light and life to all who would listen to God's call. 4 Sing of God made manifest on the cloud-capped mountain's crest, where the law and prophets waned so that Christ alone remained: glimpse of glory, pledge of grace, given as Jesus set his face towards the waiting cross and grave, sign of hope that God would save.

Through the holy prophets, God promised of old to save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us; to show mercy to our forebears, and to remember the holy covenant. This was the oath God swore to our ancestor Abraham, to set us free from the hands of our enemies, free to worship without fear, holy and righteous in God's sight, all the days of our life. R And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, to give God's people knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins. In the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
