Author: Brian Wren Meter: 7.8.7.8 with alleluia Appears in 43 hymnals 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:
Alleluia!
2 Trembling at his feet we saw
Moses and Elijah speaking.
All the prophets and the law
shout thru them their joyful greeting:
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!
4 This is God's beloved Son!
Law and prophets fade before him;
first and last and only one,
let creation now adore him:
Alleluia!
