Original text and translations

English text

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 addrest, God in man made manifest. 2  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 addrest, 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 addrest, God in man made manifest. 4  Sun and moon shall darkened be, Stars shall fall, the 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 confest, God in man made manifest.

5  Grant us grace to see thee, Lord, Mirrored in thy hold 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.
