Author: Coelius Sedulius, 5th cent.; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Our Great Redeemer's Praise #210 (2022) Lyrics: 1 When Christ’s appearing was made known,
King Herod trembled for his throne;
but He who offers heav'nly 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 heav'nly 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 Spirit evermore. Topics: Jesus, Conceived and Born Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO
