The Star Proclaims the King Is Here

The star proclaims the King is here;
but, Herod, why this senseless fear?
For he who came from heaven's throne
does not desire an earthly crown.

The eastern Magi saw from far
and followed on his guiding star,
and, led by light, to Light they pressed
and by their gifts their God confessed.

Within the Jordan River stood
the pure and holy Lamb of God;
the father's voice, the Spirit-dove,
confirmed the Savior from above.

At Cana, miracle divine,
when water reddened into wine,
the faithful saw his glory shown
and put their trust in him alone.

All glory unto Jesus be
and praise for his epiphany,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit evermore.
