Songs Of Thankfulness And Praise

| (Found here) |
Jesus, Lord, to you we raise,
Manifested by the star
To the sages from afar;
Branch of royal David’s stem
In your birth at Bethlehem;
Anthems be to you addrest,
God in flesh made manifest.
Manifest at Jordan’s stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
And at Cana, wedding guest,
In your Godhead manifest;
Manifest in power divine,
Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to you addrest,
God in flesh made manifest.
Manifest in making whole,
Palsied limbs and fainting soul;
Manifest in valiant fight,
Quelling all the devil’s might;
Manifest in gracious will,
Ever changing good from ill;
Anthems be to you addrest,
God in flesh made manifest.
Grant us grace to see you, Lord,
Mirrored in your holy word;
May we imitate you now,
And your grace on us endow;
That we like to you may be,
At your great Epiphany;
And may praise you ever blest,
God in flesh made manifest. Amen.
