We would see Jesus;
lo! His star is shining
Above the stable
while the angels sing;
There in a manger
on the hay reclining;
Haste, let us lay
our gifts before the King.
We would see Jesus,
Mary’s Son most holy,
Light of the village
life from day to day;
Shining revealed through
every task most lowly,
The Christ of God, the life,
the truth, the way.
We would see Jesus,
on the mountain teaching,
With all the listening people
gathered round;
While birds and flowers
and sky above are preaching
The blessedness
which simple trust has found.
We would see Jesus,
in His work of healing,
At eventide before t
he sun was set;
Divine and human,
in His deep revealing
Of God made flesh,
in loving service met.
We would see Jesus,
in the early morning,
Still as of old He calleth,
“Follow Me!”
Let us arise,
all meaner service scorning;
Lord, we are Thine,
we give ourselves to Thee.
