Tanggapin Mo

Lyrics

KORO
Hanap Kita o Panginoon ‘pagkat nasa ‘Yo lamang
ang kaligtasan/kaganapan ng aking buhay! (2x)

I
Panginoon, pag-asa Ka sa buhay ko
Hangad ko ang pagpapatawad Mo sa mga pagkukulang ko.
Alay sa 'Yo katapatan ng loob ko
Pangako ko tanggapin Mo aking pagtalima sa utos Mo(KORO)

II
Panginoon sandigan Ka ng buhay ko
Dalingin kong patatagin mo ang pananampalataya ko.
Para sa 'Yo karangalan at yaman ko
Handog sa 'Yo tanggapin Mo't gamitin ako sa naisin Mo.(KORO)

III
Dahil Ikaw ang pag-ibig,
Hubugin Mo ang aking puso't pag-iisip,
Upang ako ay umibig,
Maglingkod sa kapwa't magdulot ng ligaya,

Tanggapin mo abang puso ko't isugo ako. (KORO)

The Star of the Kings
Horacio De La Costa, SJ

I do not think the three wise men
Were Persian kings at all.
I think it much more likely
That they set sail from off Manila Bay
In answer to the call.

And though the great historians
May stare at me and frown,
I still maintain the three wise men
Were kings from my hometown.

And if you ask why I affirm
That Melchor was king of Tondo,
When Gaspar ruled Sampaloc,
And Baltazar Binondo—
We will not argue.

We will walk
The streets on Christmas Eve,
And I'll show you the poor man's rafter
Where hangs the Star the Kings sought after,
High above Christian prayer and laughter—
You will see it, and believe!

For when they crossed the sea again
From Bethlehem afar,
They lost their camels in the sea
And they forgot the Christmas tree
But they brought back to you and me
The secret of the Star.
