The Epiphany of Our Lord

A Blessed feast of the Epiphany to one and all!

"Behold, the Lord, the Ruler has come, and the kingdom and the power and the glory are in His hand!" (Introit)

O God, by the leading of a star You made known Your only-begotten Son to the Gentiles. Lead us, who know You now by faith, to enjoy in heaven the fullness of Your divine presence... (Collect)

Alleluia! We saw His star when it rose and have come to worship Him. Alleluia! (Verse)

Almighty Father, in Your Son
You loved us when not yet begun
Was this old earth's foundation!
Your Son has ransomed us in love
To live in Him here and above:
This is Your great salvation.
Alleluia!
Christ the living
To us giving
Life forever,
Keeps us Yours and fails us never.
LSB 395:4 (Hymn of Day for Epiphany Feast)
