145 – Songs of Thankfulness and Praise

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;

Anthems be to You addressed,

God in man made manifested.

2

Manifest at Jordan’s stream,

Prophet’s, 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 addressed,

God in man made manifested.

3

Manifest in making whole

Palsied limbs and fainting soul;

Manifest in valliant fight,

Quelling all the devil’s might;

Manifest in gracious will,

Ever bringing good from ill;

Anthems be to You addressed,

God in man made manifested.

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;

Let us praise You, ever blest,

God in man made manifest.
