Author: C. Sedulius; J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #173 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The star proclaims the King is here;
But, Herod, why this senseless fear?
He takes no realms of earth away
Who gives the realms of heav'nly day.
2 The wiser Magi see from far
And follow on His guiding star;
And, led by light, to Light they press
And by their gifts their God confess.
3 Within the Jordan's crystal flood
In meekness stands the Lamb of God
And, sinless, sanctifies the wave,
Mankind from sin to cleanse and save.
4 At Cana first His pow'r is shown;
His might the blushing waters own
And, changing as He speaks the word,
Flow wine, obedient to their Lord.
5 All glory, Jesus, be to Thee
For this Thy glad epiphany;
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Ghost forevermore.
