Songs of Thankfulness and Praise
Grant us grace to see Thee, Lord, Present in Thy holy Word–Grace to imitate Thee now And be pure, as pure art Thou; That we might become like Thee At Thy great epiphany And may praise Thee, ever blest, God in man made manifest. (LSB 394 v. 5)
As we celebrate the fifth Sunday of Epiphany, one of my favorite hymns is “Songs of Thankfulness and Praise.” The final stanza reads, “God in man made manifest.” Manifest is defined as clear or obvious to the eye or mind. Verse five above encourages us to study God’s word to discern the meaning.

He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you (1 Peter 1:20).
