Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #177 (1986) 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--
Alleluya!
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya!
2 Trembling at his feet we saw
Moses and Elijah speaking.
All the prophets and the Law
Shout through them their joyful greeting.--
Alleluya!
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya!
3 Swift the cloud of glory came,
God proclaiming in its thunder
Jesus as his Son by name!
Nations, cry aloud in wonder!--
Alleluya!
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya!
4 This is God's beloved Son!
Law and prophets sing before him;
First and last, and only One,
Let Creation now adore him:
Alleluya!
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya! Topics: The Transfiguration August 6th; The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTUS IST ERSTANDEN
