O Wondrous Sight, O Vision Fair

Author: J. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 103 hymnals Matching Instances: 17 Lyrics: 1 O wondrous sight, O vision fair of glory that the church shall share, which Christ upon the mountain shows, where brighter than the sun he glows! 2 From age to age the tale declares how with the three disciples there, where Moses and Elijah meet, the Lord holds converse high and sweet. 3 The law and prophets there have place, two chosen witnesses of grace; the Father’s voice from out the cloud proclaims his only Son aloud. 4 With shining face and bright array Christ deigns to manifest today what glory shall be theirs above who joy in God with perfect love. 5 And faithful hearts are raised on high by this great vision’s mystery, for which in joyful strains we raise the voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.
