Author: George Boorne Timms, 1910-1997 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #789 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O vision blest of heavenly light,
which meets the three disciples' sight,
when on the holy mount they see
their Lord's transfigured majesty.
2 More bright than day his raiment shone;
the Father's voice proclaimed the Son
beloved before the worlds were made,
for us in mortal flesh arrayed.
3 And with him there on either hand
lo, Moses and Elijah stand,
to show how Christ, to those who see,
fulfils both law and prophecy.
4 O Light from Light, by love inclined,
Jesu, redeemer of mankind,
accept thy people's prayer and praise
which on the mount to thee they raise.
5 Be with us, Lord, as we descend
to walk with thee to journey's end,
that through thy cross we too may rise,
and share thy triumph in the skies.
6 To thee, O Father; Christ, to thee,
let praise and endless glory be,
whom with the Spirit we adore,
one Lord, one God, for evermore. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days The Transfiguration Languages: English Tune Title: WARRINGTON
