145- Songs of Thankfulness and Praise
Jesus Christ: Life and Ministry
1
- Songs of thankfulness and praise,
- 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;
Refrain
- Anthems be to You addressed,
- God in man made manifest.
2
- 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;
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;
4
- Grant us grace to see You, Lord,
- Mirrored in Your holy Word;
- May we imitate Your way,
- And be pure, as pure we may,
- That we like to You may be
- At Your great epiphany;
Refrain
- Let us praise You, ever blest,
- God in man made manifest.
