1 Songs of thankfulness and praise Jesu, 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. 2 Manifest at Jordan's stream, Prophet, Priest, and King supreme; And at Cana, wedding-guest, In Thy God-head manifest; Manifest in power divine, Changing water in to wine; Anthems be to Thee addressed, God in Man made manifest. 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. 4 Sun and moon shall darkened be. Stars shall fall, and heavens 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. 5 Grant us grace to see Thee, Lord, Present 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. Amen.
