Verse 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;
Chorus
“You are Christ,” by us confessed,
God in flesh made manifest.
Verse 2
Manifest at Jordan’s stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
and at Cana, wedding guest,
in your Godhead manifest,
you revealed your pow'r divine,
changing water into wine;
Chorus
“You are Christ,” by us confessed,
God in flesh made manifest.
Verse 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;
Chorus
“You are Christ,” by us confessed,
God in flesh made manifest.
