Why, Impious Herod, Shouldst Thou Fear (EN 4494)

EN 4494 Why, Impious Herod, Shouldst Thou Fear

John.18.36

Versi Version 1

1

Why, impious Herod, shouldst thou fear

Because the Christ is come so near?

He Who doth heavenly kingdoms grant

Thine earthly realm can never want.

2

Lo, sages from the East are gone

To where the star hath newly shone:

Led on by light to Light they press,

And by their gifts their God confess.

3

The Lamb of God is manifest

Again in Jordan’s water blest,

And He Who sin had never known

By washing hath our sins undone.

4

Yet He that ruleth everything

Can change the nature of the spring,

And gives at Cana this for sign—

The water reddens into wine.

5

Then glory, Lord, to Thee we pay

For thine Epiphany today;

All glory through eternity

To Father, Son, and Spirit be.
