Songs of Thankfulness and Praise

Verse 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 man made manifest.

Verse 2

Manifest at Jordan's stream, Prophet, Priest,
and King supreme; And at Cana,
wedding guest, In Thy Godhead manifest;
Manifest in pow'r divine,

Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to Thee addressed,
God in man made manifest.

Verse 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 man made manifest.

Verse 4

Sun and moon shall darkened be,
Stars shall fall, the heav'ns shall flee,
Christ will then like lightning shine,
All will see His glorious sign:

All will then the trumpet hear;
All will see the Judge appear;
Thou by all wilt be confessed,
God in man made manifest.

Verse 5

Grant us grace to see Thee, Lord,
Mirrored in Thy holy Word;
May we imitate Thee now,
And be pure, as pure art Thou;

That we like to Thee may be At Thy great Epiphany;
And may praise Thee, ever blest,
God in man made manifest.
