For Epiphany: Jan 6

***********

Season of Epiphany

Revealing of Christ-child, see

To wise men who saw His star

They travelled from country far

To worship and to adore

He who is Lord, King e\'ermore

 

In that young child they did see

By faith all that He would be

Worthy of their richest fare

They presented to Him there

Gold and myrrh and frankincense

God\'s Son\'s presence they did sense

 

They warned of God in a dream

That all was not as did seem

They were warned of the false plan

Of King Herod, evil man

He would feign to worship too

Desire Chrsit the King to view

 

What can we offer today

To you, Lord? Show us we pray

Rich or poor, to give what we

Give willing, not grudgingly

Nor necessity only

Giving burden-free may be

 

As they shared their love and praise

So, Lord, unto you we raise

Our worship, and freedom find

Serving you, merciful, kind

Worthy of all we can bring

You who give us each good thing
