310. The chosen three, on mountain hight

1 The chosen three, on mountain hight,
While Jesus bowed in prayer,
Beheld his vesture glow with light,
His face shine wondrous fair.

2 And lo! with the transfigured Lord,
Leader and seer they saw;
With Carmel's hoary prophet stood
The giver of the law.

3 From the low-bending cloud above,
Whence radiant brightness shone,
Spake out the Father's voice of love,
"Hear my beloved Son!"

4 Lord, lead us to the mountain hight;
To prayer's transfiguring glow;
And clothe us with the Spirit's might,
For grander work below.
