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.
"You are Christ," by us confessed–
God in flesh made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme,
and at Cana, wedding guest,
in your Godhead manifest;
you revealed your power divine,
changing water into wine.
"You are Christ," by us confessed–
God in flesh made manifest.
3 Manifest in making whole
weakened body, fainting soul;
manifest in valiant fight,
quelling all the devil's might;
manifest in gracious will,
ever bringing good from ill:
"You are Christ," by us confessed–
God in flesh made manifest.
