When Christ's Appearing Was Made Known

Author: Caelius Sedulius (5th cent.?); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2 Lyrics: 1 When Christ’s appearing was made known, King Herod trembled for his throne; but he who offers heavenly birth sought not the kingdom of this earth. 2 The eastern sages saw from far and followed on his guiding star; by light their way to Light they trod, and by their gifts confessed their God. 3 Within the Jordan’s sacred flood the heavenly Lamb in meekness stood, that he, to whom no sin was known, might cleanse his people from their own. 4 And O what a miracle divine, when water reddened into wine! He spake the word, and forth it flowed in streams that nature ne’er bestowed. 5 All glory, Jesus, be to thee for this thy glad Epiphany: whom with the Father we adore and Holy Ghost forevermore.
