The Glory of These Forty Days

Author: Gregory the Great, c. 540-604; Maurice F. Bell, 1862-1947 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Transfiguration (August 6) Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days We celebrate with songs of praise; For Christ, by whom all things were made, Himself has fasted and has prayed. 2 Alone and fasting Moses saw The loving God who gave the law; And to Elijah, fasting, came The steeds and chariots of flame. 3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight, Delivered from the lion's might; And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became The herald of Messiah’s name. 4 Then grant that we like them be true, Consumed in fast and prayer with you; Our spirits strengthen with your grace, And give us joy to see your face.

O God of God, O Light of Light

Author: John Julian, 1839-1913 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Transfiguration Lyrics: 1 O God of God, O Light of light, O Prince of Peace and King of kings: To you in heaven's glory bright The song of praise forever rings. To him who shares the Father's throne, The Lamb once slain but raised again, Be all the glory he has won, All thanks and praise! Amen. Amen. 2 For deep in prophets' sacred page, And grand in poets' winged word, Slowly in type, from age to age The nations saw their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, "Good will to men!" Sung once by firstborn sons of light, It echoes now, "Good will!" Amen. 3 That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death so steeped in hate and scorn - These all are past, and now above He reigns, our king first crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, O mighty gates! So sang that host beyond our ken. Lift up your heads, your king awaits. We lift them up. Amen. Amen. 4 Then raise to Christ a mighty song And shout his name, his glories tell! Sing, heav'nly host, your praise prolong, And all on earth, your anthem swell! All hail, O Lamb for sinners slain! Forever let the song ascend! All hail, O Lamb enthroned to reign! All hail! All hail! Amen! Amen! Used With Tune: O GROSSER GOTT

Once on a mountain-top

Author: Michael Hewlett (b. 1916) Meter: 6.6.8.5.6.6.8.4 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Transfiguration Lyrics: 1 Once on a mountain-top there stood three startled men who saw the veil of nature drop and heaven shine in. Their friend of every day, the face they knew for his, they saw for one half-hour the way he always is. 2 Yet men have lived and died and found of God no trace. 'Thou art a God' (the prophet cried) 'who hidest thy face.' The earth lies all explored, the heavens are ours to climb; and still no man has seen his God at any time. 3 And minds that learn to scan creation like a book say nothing lives outside their plan and so never look. O Lord of hidden light, forgive us who despise the things which lie beyond our sight, and give us eyes. Used With Tune: TRANSFIGURATION
