An Epiphany Poem

To the Gentiles from afar

By the promised guiding star,

And to John in Jordan’s bed

By the Dove upon Your head,

To the Scribes who marveled so

By the truth You came to know,

To the wedding Your first sign

By the water made to wine,

To Centurion and unclean

By Your Word Your will was seen,

Men who prayed to you to save

By Your pow’r that calmed the wave,

To th’ apostles whom You knew

By the light that shone from You –

Once You showed them who You are,

So now shine Your guiding star

In the Scriptures that proclaim

You, as yesterday, the same.

Show Yourself to us today,

Give us faith to know and say

That You are our flesh and blood,

That You are our only God. 

Amen.
