lyrics
Herod shouldst thou fear
The Christ is near?
Heavenly kingdoms grant
Thine earth don’t want
Lo, sages
From the east
Are gone to
Where the star
Hath newly shone
By light to light, they press
And by their gifts
Their God confess
God is manifest
Jordon’s water blest
Who sin had never known
Our sins undone
He that ruleth
everything
change the nature
of the spring
gives at Cana
This for sign
Herod shouldst though fear
the water reddens
into wine
The water reddens into wine
The Christ is near?
Heavenly kingdoms grant
Thine earth don’t want
Lo, sages
From the east
Are gone to
Where the star
Hath newly shone
By light to light, they press
And by their gifts
Their God confess
God is manifest
Jordon’s water blest
Who sin had never known
Our sins undone
He that ruleth
everything
change the nature
of the spring
gives at Cana
This for sign
Herod shouldst though fear
the water reddens
into wine
The water reddens into wine
