Songs of thankfulness and praise
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:18 Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise
Jesus, Lord, to you we raise,
God revealed by guiding star
to the sages from afar,
branch of royal David's stem,
in your birth at Bethlehem:
anthems be to you addressed,
God in Christ made manifest.
2 God revealed at Jordan's stream
God's beloved Son supreme,
and at Cana, wedding-guest,
in your power manifest,
God revealed in works divine,
changing water into wine:
anthems be to you addressed,
God in Christ made manifest.
3 God revealed in making whole
weakened limbs and fainting soul,
God revealed in valiant fight,
quelling all the devil's might,
God revealed in gracious will,
ever bringing good from ill:
anthems be to you addressed,
God in Christ made manifest.
4 Manifest on mountain height,
shining in resplendent light,
where disciples filled with awe
your transfigured glory saw:
from that place you went with them
steadfast to Jerusalem;
cross and Easter day attest
God in Christ made manifest.
5 Grant us grace to see you, Lord,
mirrored in your holy word;
may we imitate you still
and obey your perfect will,
that we like to you may be,
at your great epiphany:
may your glory be confessed,
God in Christ made manifest. Topics: Church Year Epiphany; Jesus Christ Healer and Teacher; Wine Used With Tune: SALZBURG (HINTZE)

And faith stands leaning on his word. Topics: The Christian Life Growth in Grace; Consistency

in the murmur of the dove;
burn away our wasting wrongs
with the healing fire of love.
2 Unseen member of the dance
that unites the Trinity,
let the grace your presence grants
twine us in like mystery.

till our hope and faith increase:
speak through us with tongues of fire;
send us forth to spread God's peace. Topics: Pentecost Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
