Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #79 (2024) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. When Jesus led his chosen three
To lift the shadow from their sight,
And on the mountain let them see
His face transfigured, crowned with light:
What grace that day to them was given!
To men on Earth, a glimpse of Heav'n.
2. There Moses and Elijah stood
And spoke about his exodus,
Their freedom purchased by his blood,
A passover most marvellous!
The law and prophets meet their Lord,
See God revealed, and man restored.
3. Then from the cloud there came a voice,
"This is my own belovèd Son";
The Scriptures' theme, the Father's choice,
Their master stood supreme, alone:
They saw his glory, and they heard
The one eternal, living Word.
4. So may we see and know this grace:
The truth, which like a burning light
Illuminates the darkest place
Till Christ himself shall end the night:
When to his people's longing eyes
God's day shall dawn, his sun shall rise. Topics: Epiphany Transfiguration Scripture: 2 Peter 1:16-18 Languages: English Tune Title: STELLA
