Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Ecumenical Praise #112 (1977) Topics: Jesus Christ His Resurrection and Reign First Line: We meet you, O Christ, in many a guise Lyrics: 1 We meet you, O Christ, in many a guise;
your image we see in simple and wise.
You live in a palace, exist in a shack;
we see you, the gard'ner, a tree on your back.
2 In millions alive, away and abroad;
involv'd in our life you live down the road.
Imprison'd in systems you long to be free;
we see you, Lord Jesus, still bearing your tree.
3 We hear you, O Man, in agony cry;
for freedom you march, in riots you die.
Your face in the papers we read and we see.
The tree must be planted by human decree.
4 You choose to be made at one with the earth;
the dark of the grave prepares for your birth.
Your death is your rising, creative your Word;
the tree springs to life and our hope is restored. Languages: English Tune Title: DURHAM 72
