Jesus, Lord, to you we raise,
Manifested by the star
To the sages from afar;
Branch of royal David's stem
In your birth at Bethlehem;
Anthems be to you addrest,
God in flesh made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
And at Cana, wedding guest,
In your God head manifest;
Manifest in pow'r divine,
Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to you addrest,
God in earth made manifest.
3 Grant us grace to see you, Lord,
Mirrored in your holy word;
May we imitate you now;
And on us your grace endow,
That we like to you may be
At your great epiphany;
And may praise you, ever blest,
God in us made manifest. Topics: Baptism of the Lord; Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Used With Tune: SALZBURG
