We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding to this high and holy place, where we wait with hope and longing for some token of God’s grace. Here we pray for new assurance that our faith is not in vain, searching like those first disciples for a sign both clear and plain. 2 Light breaks through our clouds and shadows, splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word, Moses and Elijah marvel as the heavenly voice is heard. Eyes and hearts behold with wonder how the Law and Prophets meet: Christ with garments drenched in brightness, stands transfigured and complete. 3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory, fearful lest our faith decline, We, like Peter, find it tempting to remain and build a shrine. But true worship gives us courage to proclaim what we profess, That our daily lives may prove us people of the God we bless.
