Epiphany, the Light of the World Revealed

High above the darkened world
Light from heaven comes-
Comes as a babe, the Messiah,
Human, yet divine.

The Messiah, so long awaited,
Offers salvation to all who ask;
To all who believe, the one
“Who is to shepherd my people, Israel.”

His star in the east, 
Above Bethlehem is seen.
Magi, from afar, seeking, like all
The babe, newborn king of the Jews.

We, like Magi, seek your radiance;
Come to worship, offer tribute.
Doing homage with gifts of self,
Sacrifice and sustenance.

Our joy, thankfulness and praise 
Sing in wonder what God has revealed:
The light of the world manifest-
Christ, exalted, Savior of the world.
