Christ, upon the Mountain Peak
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 7.8.7.8 R with alleluias Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 17:1-8 Lyrics: 1 Christ, upon the mountain peak,
stands alone in glory blazing.
Let us, if we dare to speak,
with the saints and angels praise him.

Moses and Elijah speaking.
All the prophets and the law
shout through them their joyful greeting.
Alleluia, alleluia!
3 Swift the cloud of glory came,
God proclaiming in its thunder
Jesus as his Son by name!
Nations, cry aloud in wonder!
Alleluia, alleluia!

Law and prophets fade before him;
first and last and only One,
let creation now adore him!
Alleluia, alleluia!

O Wondrous Sight, O Vision Fair
Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 103 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 17:1-3 Lyrics: 1 O wondrous sight, O vision fair
Of glory that the church shall share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows,
Where brighter than the sun He glows!
2 From age to age the tale declare,
How with the three disciples there,
Where Moses and Elijah meet,
The Lord holds converse high and sweet.
3 The law and prophets there have place,
Two chosen witnesses of grace;
The Father’s voice from out the cloud
Proclaims His only Son aloud.
4 With shining face and bright array
Christ deigns to manifest today
What glory shall be theirs above
Who joy in God with perfect love.
5 And faithful hearts are raised on high
By this great vision’s mystery,
For which in joyful strains we raise
The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 17:1-8 Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding
to this high and holy place,
where we wait with hope and longing
for some token of God’s grace.
Here we pray for new assurance
that our faith is not in vain,
searching like those first disciples
for a sign both clear and plain.
2 Light breaks through our clouds and shadows,
splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word,
Moses and Elijah marvel
as the heavenly voice is heard.
Eyes and hearts behold with wonder
how the Law and Prophets meet:
Christ with garments drenched in brightness,
stands transfigured and complete.
3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory,
fearful lest our faith decline,
we, like Peter, find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine.
But true worship gives us courage
to proclaim what we profess,
that our daily lives may prove us
people of the God we bless.

Sing of God Made Manifest
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 17:1-8 Lyrics: 1 Sing of God made manifest
in a child robust and blest,
to whose home in Bethlehem
where a star had guided them,
Magi came and gifts unbound,
signs mysterious and profound:
myrrh and frankincense and gold
grave and God and King foretold.
2 Sing of God made manifest
when at Jordan John confessed,
"I should be baptized by you,
but your bidding I will do."
Then from heaven a double sign--
dove-like Spirit, voice divine--
hailed the true Anointed One:
"This is my beloved Son."
3 Sing of God made manifest
when Christ came as wedding guest
and at Cana gave a sign,
turning water into wine;
further still was love revealed
as he taught, forgave, and healed,
bringing light and life to all
who would listen to God's call.
4 Sing of God made manifest
on the cloud capped mountain's crest,
where the law and prophets waned
so that Christ alone remained:
glimpse of glory, pledge of grace,
given as Jesus set his face
towards the waiting cross and grave,
sign of hope that God would save. Used With Tune: SALZBURG

Christ's Transfiguration
Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 71 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 17:4 First Line: When at this distance, Lord, we trace Lyrics: 1 When at this distance, Lord, we trace
The various glories of thy face,
What transport pours o'er all our breast,
And charms our cares and woes to rest.
2 With thee in the obscurest cell
On some bleak mountain would I dwell,
Rather than pompous courts behold,
And share their grandeur and their gold.
3 Away, ye dreams of mortal joy!
Raptures divine my thoughts employ:
I see the King of glory shine;
And feel his love, and call him mine.
4 On tabor, thus his servants view'd
His lustre, when transform'd he stood;
And, bidding earthly scenes farewel,
Cries, "Lord, 'tis pleasant here to dwell."
5 Yet still our elevated eyes
To nobler visions long to rise;
That grand Assembly would we join,
Where all thy saints around thee shine.
6 That mount how bright! those forms how fair!
'Tis good to dwell for ever there:
Come, death, dear envoy of my God,
And bear me to that blest abode. Topics: The Life and Ministry of Christ; Presence of Christ the joy of his people; Transfiguration of Christ
