21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. 22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

     23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. 28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.(KJV)

1. Songs of thankfulness and praise, 
Jesus, Lord, to Thee we raise, 
Manifested by the star 
To the sages from afar, 
Branch of royal David’s stem, 
In Thy birth at Bethlehem. 
Anthems be to Thee addressed 
God in man made manifest. 

2. Manifest at Jordan’s stream, 
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme, 
And at Cana, Wedding-guest, 
In Thy Godhead manifest; 
Manifest in power divine, 
Changing water into wine. 
Anthems be to Thee addressed 
God in man made manifest. 

3. Manifest in making whole 
Palsied limbs and fainting soul; 
Manifest in valiant fight, 
Quelling all the devil’s might; 
Manifest in gracious will, 
Ever bringing good from ill. 
Anthems be to Thee addressed, 
God in man made manifest.
