Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #90 (1978) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Epiphany 4 Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise;
Manifested by the star
To the sages from afar,
Branch of royal David's stem
In thy birth at Bethlehem:
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
And at Cana wedding guest
In the Godhead manifest;
Manifest in pow'r divine,
Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
3 Manifest in making whole
Palsied limbs and fainting soul;
Manifest in valiant fight,
Quelling all the devil's might;
Manifest in gracious will,
Ever bringing good from ill:
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
4 Grant us grace to see thee, Lord,
Present in thy holy Word;
Grace to imitate thee now
And be pure, as pure art thou;
That we might become like thee
At thy great epiphany,
And may praise thee, ever blest,
God in flesh made manifest. Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG
