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 addrest,
God in Man made manifest.

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 addrest,
God in Man made manifest.

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.

Bishop Christopher Wordsworth (1862)
