Our priest chose this hymn on Sunday, to my mild surprise. I had expected We Three Kings, the perennial Epiphany choice in my experience. This one was a pleasant surprise, with more to it than I expected. Thanks for pointing out its greatness.🙏♥️
Our son played this hymn for Epiphany at our church. I chose it, but I have to admit that that is because it was an Epiphany "standard" at our church of 22 years in Rhode Island. He will be playing it again in the weeks to come, at least once more, because of the other epiphanies! This is truly a great hymn among the greats.
Ha, Claudia! That's great. Davey played this hymn among his others for Epiphany. We love it. Some "mod" hymnals have changed the last line to "God in US made manifest." Ham-handed of them, no?

Your son played the hymn! That is in itself a song of rejoicing.🙏🥳♥️
I always enjoy singing this hymn. And then after Mass I enjoy wishing my friends a “Happy Manifestivus”!

Truly, they know not what they do!
When rewritten hymns are in our songbook, I tend to sing the words I know, rather than the words I see.😉
In charity, one could think that.🤦
