Songs of Thankfulness and Praise
Two-part choir and organ. The hymn text by Christopher Wordsworth in a new musical setting. Also available for SAB.
Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, 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.
Manifest at Jordan’s stream,
Prophet, Priest and King supreme;
And at Cana wedding guest,
In thy Godhead manifest;
Manifest in power divine
Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to thee addressed,
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.
