Transfigured Christ, None Comprehends

Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-18 Lyrics: 1 Transfigured Christ, none comprehends your majesty, whose splendour stuns all waking souls; whose light transcends the brightness of a thousand suns! 2 You stand with Moses on the hill, you speak of your new exodus. The way through death, you will fulfil by dying helpless on the cross. 3 You stand here with Elijah too, by whom the still small voice was heard: and you, yourself, will prove God true, made mute in death, incarnate Word. 4 If we could bear your brightness here and stay for ever in your light, then we would conquer grief and fear, and scorn the terrors of the night. 5 But, from the heights, you bring us down, to share earth's agonies with you, where piercing thorns are made your crown and death, accepted, proves love true. 6 Majestic Christ, God's well-loved son, if we must share your grief and loss, transfigure us, when all is done, with glory shining from your cross.

What various hindrances we meet

Author: Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 524 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 19:12 Lyrics: 1 What various hindrances we meet In coming to a mercy-seat! Yet who that knows the worth of prayer But wishes to be often there! 2 Prayer makes the darkened clouds withdraw; Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw; Gives exercise to faith and love; Brings every blessing from above. 3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight; Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright; And Satan trembles when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees. 4 Have you no words? Ah, think again: Words flow apace when you complain, And fill a fellow-creature's ear With the sad tale of all your care. 5 Were half the breath thus vainly spent To heaven in supplication sent, Our cheerful song would oftener be, Hear what the Lord hath done for me. Topics: Prayer; Hindrances to Prayer

I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go

Author: Charles H. Gabriel Appears in 449 hymnals Scripture: 1 Kings 19:11-12 First Line: It may not be on the mountain's height Lyrics: 1 It may not be on the mountain’s height, Or over the stormy sea; It may not be at the battle’s front, My Lord will have need of me; But if by a still, small voice He calls To paths I do not know, I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine, I’ll go where You want me to go. Chorus: I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord, O’er mountain, or plain, or sea; I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord, I’ll be what you want me to be. 2 Perhaps today there are loving words Which Jesus would have me speak; There may be now in the paths of sin, Some wand’rer whom I should seek. O Savior, if Thou wilt be my Guide, Tho' dark and rugged the way, My voice shall echo the message sweet, I’ll say what you want me to say. (Chorus) 3 There’s surely somewhere a lowly place In earth’s harvest fields so wide, Where I may labor thro' life’s short day For Jesus, the Crucified; So, trusting my all to Thy care, I know Thou lovest me! I’ll do Thy will with a heart sincere, I’ll be what you want me to be. (Chorus) Used With Tune: [It may not be on the mountain's height]
