1. The star pro- claims the King is here; But, Her- od, why this sense- less fear? He takes no realms of earth a- way Who gives the realms of heav'n- ly day.
 
2. The wi- ser Ma- gi see from far And fol- low on His guid- ing star; And led by light, to light they press And by their gifts their God con- fess.
 
3. With- in the Jor- dan's crys- tal flood In meek- ness stands the Lamb of God And, sin- less, sanc- ti- fies the wave, Man- kind from sin to cleanse and save.
 
4. At Ca- na first His pow'r is shown; His might the blush- ing wa- ters own And, chang- ing as He speaks the word, Flow wine, o- be- dient to their Lord.
 
5. All glo- ry, Je- sus, be to Thee For this Thy glad e- pi- pha- ny; Whom with the Fa- ther we a- dore And Ho- ly Ghost for- ev- er- more.
