Redeemer Revealed

Tune: Stuttgart

('Earth has many a noble city')

Matthew 2 v.1 - 12 parts

********

To the Gentiles now revealing

The Christ-child, no concealing

Wise men from the east Him adore

Give Him of their treasure store

 

Gold for a King, he Lord of all

Though born in a manger stall

Highest honours, he is worthy

Great His name shall ever be

 

Frankincense, prayers to Him offered

Blessings be on us conferred

He shall meet our needs, us attend

His Spirit unto us send

 

Myrrh foretelling of His passion

He the sinless holy One

He the Saviour of all mankind

Salvation in Him we find

 

His star seen, the wise men rejoiced

In unity their praise voiced

To Him, King of Kings eternal

Come, worship Him, on Him call

  • ANGELA & BRIAN

    GOOD EVENING UNCLE STEVE - Excellent choice of HYMN & POEM to cellebrate EPIPHANY. We are on very HOLY GROUND here because both the VISIT & the GIFTS they brought for JESUS are very very significant ! I posted a similar POEM a few days ago.

    GOLD signifies SOVEREIGNITY
    FRANKINCENSE signifies DEITY
    MYRRH signifies SACRIFICIAL SUFFERING

    I have heard *PREACHERS* make a Joke (from the PULPIT) that if had been three WISE WOMEN they would have brought DISPOSABLE NAPPIES - JOHNSONS BABY POWDER & A CUDDLY TOY CAMEL ! It is amusing but it misses the POINT - The gifts the Wise Men brought were absolutely & spiritually appropriate for The Incarnate LORD JESUS CHRIST - than anything on the Ladies List - AMEN !

    Bleassings & JOY to YOU & YOUR Pesky Poodle !
    Love in the SPIRIT - Angela & Brian ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก

      Thanks B&A. Fido would have brought a bone!

      • ANGELA & BRIAN

        Just like the RESPONSE to Christian Appeals (Sally Army etc) in these self-centered Days ~ All Bone but no MEAT !

        At least FIDO brought a Marrow Bone ! Some bring NOTHING !
