Author: Joseph Armitage Robinson, 1858-1933 Hymnal: Together in Song #234 (1999) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How good, Lord, to be here!
your glory fills the night;
your face and garments, like the sun,
shine with unborrowed light.
2 How good, Lord, to be here,
your beauty to behold,
where Moses and Elijah stand,
your messengers of old.
3 Fulfiller of the past,
promise of things to be:
we hail your body glorified,
and our redemption see.
4 Before we taste of death,
we see your Kingdom come;
we still would hold the vision bright,
and make this hill our home.
5 How good, Lord, to be here!
yet we may not remain;
but since you bid us leave the mount
come with us to the plain.
