Bright the cloud and bright the glory

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 with refrain Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Jesus transfiguration Lyrics: 1 Bright the cloud and bright the glory, brighter far than mere sun's rays, opening up a glimpse of heaven to disciples' awestruck gaze: power past their comprehension, splendour too profound for praise. All was changed, all was changed; and they would never be the same. 2 Bright the cloud but dark the glory wrought by human enterprise, opening wide with awful terror stark new worlds before our eyes: power grasped but far from mastered, knowledge keen but not yet wise. All has changed, all has changed; and we shall never be the same. 3 From the cloud and from the glory human need brought Jesus down: down to death, then from death rising to receive a victor's crown. Lead us, Christ, to prize compassion more than might, wealth, or renown. Help us change, help us change, that we may never be the same. Scripture: Luke 23:49 Used With Tune: LUX TREMENDA
