Lyrics
Verse 1
Within the Father's house the Son hath found His home;
And to His temple suddenly the Lord of Life hath come.
Verse 2
The doctors of the law gaze on the wondrous child,
And marvel at His gracious words of wisdom undefiled.
Verse 3
Yet not to them is giv'n the mighty truth to know,
To lift the fleshly veil which hides Incarnate God below.
Verse 4
The secret of the Lord escapes each human eye,
And faithful pond'ring hearts await the full epiphany.
Verse 5
Lord, visit Thou our souls, and teach us by Thy grace
Each dim revealing of Thyself with loving awe to trace;
Verse 6
Till from our darkened sight the cloud shall pass away,
And on the cleansèd soul shall burst the everlasting day.
Verse 7
Till we behold Thy face, and know, as we are known,
Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Co-equal Three in One....

Epiphany is celebrated 12 days after Christmas and is the time when Christians remember the Wise Men (also sometimes called the Three Kings) who visited Jesus at His birth. It's a time in the liturgical year when we remember the magi's journey and Jesus being revealed as the Savior of the world. In fact, the word “Epiphany” comes from the Greek epiphaneia, meaning “manifestation” or "striking appearance.” Find chord charts and hymn sheets to celebrate the light and revelation of Christ's birth.
