Sing of God Made Manifest

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17 Lyrics: 1 Sing of God made manifest In a child robust and blest, To whose home in Bethlehem Where a star had guided them, Magi came and gifts unbound, Signs mysterious and profound: Myrrh and frankincense and gold Grave and God and king foretold. 2 Sing of God made manifest When at Jordan John confessed, “I should be baptized by You, But Your bidding I will do.” Then from heav'n a double sign– Dove-like Spirit, voice divine– Hailed the true Anointed One: “This is My beloved Son.” 3 Sing of God made manifest When Christ came as wedding guest And at Cana gave a sign, Turning water into wine; Further still was love revealed As He taught, forgave and healed, Bringing light and life to all Who would listen to God’s call. 4 Sing of God made manifest On the cloud-capped mountain’s crest, Where the law and prophets waned So that Christ alone remained: Glimpse of glory, pledge of grace, Giv'n as Jesus set His face Towards the waiting cross and grave, Sign of hope that God would save.

Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 341 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:16 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart, free it from sin, through all its pulses move. Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are, and make me love you as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, no sudden rending of the veil of clay, no angel visitant, no opening skies, but take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Did you not bid us love you, God and King, love you with all our heart and strength and mind? I see your cross--there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek you and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that you are always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love you as your angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame: the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and your love the flame.
