~ EVENSONG The Feast of the Epiphany • Opening Sentence Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:2 • Collect of the Day ~ The Epiphany O God, who by the leading of a star manifested your only Son to the peoples of the earth: Lead us, who know you now by faith, to your presence, where we may see your glory face to face; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. • A Collect for Aid against Perils Be our light in the darkness, O Lord, and in your great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of your only Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. • For Mission O God, you manifest in your servants the signs of your presence: Send forth upon us the Spirit of love, that in companionship with one another your abounding grace may increase among us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. • For Quiet Confidence O God of peace, who has taught us that in returning and rest we will be saved, in quietness and confidence will be our strength: By the might of your Spirit lift us, we pray, to your presence, where we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. • Hymn “Songs of Thankfulness and Praise” Songs of thankfulness and praise, Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise, Manifested by the star To the sages from afar, Branch of royal Davids stem In Thy birth at Bethlehem: Anthems be to Thee addressed, God in man made manifest. Manifest at Jordans stream, Prophet, Priest, and King supreme; And at Cana wedding guest In the God-head manifest; Manifest in powr divine, Changing water into wine; Anthems be to Thee addressed, God in man made manifest. Manifest in making whole Palsied limbs and fainting soul; Manifest in valiant fight, Quelling all the devils might; Manifest in gracious will, Ever bringing good from ill; Anthems be to Thee addressed, God in man made manifest. Words: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Music: Salzburg https://youtube/watch?v=xgH7vSdiGv4
