Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #291 (2018) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Hymnal Title: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism 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. Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Epiphany; Christian Year Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG
