1

Lamb of God most holy,

Who on the cross didst languish,

Patient, meek, and lowly,

Though mocked amid Thine anguish:

All sin hast Thou borne for us,

Else would despair reign o’er us.

Have mercy on us, O Jesus.

1

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.

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 addressed,

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 addressed,

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 confessed,

God in man made manifest.

5

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.

Angels, from the realms of glory,

Wing your flight o’er all the earth;

Ye who sang creation’s story,

Now proclaim Messiah’s birth:

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the new-born King.

2

Shepherds, in the field abiding,

Watching o’er your flocks by night,

God with man is now residing,

Yonder shines the infant light:

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the new-born King.

3

Sages, leave your contemplations,

Brighter visions beam afar;

Seek the great desire of nations;

Ye have seen His natal star:

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the new-born King.

4

Saints, before the altar bending,

Watching long in hope and fear,

Suddenly the Lord, descending,

In His temple shall appear:

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the new-born King.
