Author: Richard Mant (1776-1848) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #603 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Other Saints and Festivals The Transfiguration Lyrics: 1 Bright the vision that delighted
once the sight of Judah's seer;
sweet the countless tongues united
to entrance the prophet's ear.
2 Round the Lord in glory seated
cherubim and seraphim
filled his temple, and repeated
each to each the alternate hymn:
3 'Lord, thy glory fills the heaven;
earth is with its fullness stored;
unto thee be glory given,
holy, holy, holy, Lord.'
4 Heaven is still with glory ringing,
earth takes up the angels' cry,
'Holy, holy, holy,' singing,
'Lord of hosts, the Lord most high.'
5 With his seraph train before him,
with his holy church below,
thus unite we to adore him,
bid we thus our anthem flow:
6 'Lord, thy glory fills the heaven;
earth is with its fullness stored;
unto thee be glory given,
holy, holy, holy, Lord.' Scripture: Isaiah 6 Languages: English Tune Title: LAUS DEO (REDHEAD NO. 46)
