|
<p>O wondrous sight! O vision fair<br>
|
|
[<em>originally</em>, A type of those bright rays on high]<br>
|
|
Of glory that the church shall share,<br>
|
|
Which Christ upon the mountain shows,<br>
|
|
Where brighter than the sun He glows!</p>
|
|
<p>From age to age the tale declares<br>
|
|
How with the three disciples there<br>
|
|
Where Moses and Elijah meet,<br>
|
|
The Lord holds converse high and sweet.</p>
|
|
<p>The law and prophets there have place,<br>
|
|
Two chosen witnesses of grace,<br>
|
|
The Father’s voice from out the cloud<br>
|
|
Proclaims His only Son aloud.</p>
|
|
<p>With shining face and bright array,<br>
|
|
Christ deigns to manifest that day<br>
|
|
What glory shall be theirs above<br>
|
|
Who joy in God with perfect love.</p>
|
|
<p>And faithful hearts are raised on high<br>
|
|
By this great vision’s mystery;<br>
|
|
For which in joyful strains we raise<br>
|
|
The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.</p>
|
|
<p>O Father, with the eternal Son,<br>
|
|
And Holy Spirit, ever One,<br>
|
|
Vouchsafe to bring us by Thy grace<br>
|
|
To see Thy glory face to face.</p>
