Hymns Recommended by Experts

Transfiguration Sunday as well as the following season of Lent offer an opportunity to reflect not only on life of Jesus, who fasted and prayed throughout his life on earth , but also on several Old Testament saints who fasted and prayed during their lives, including Moses and Elijah, who met with Jesus on the high mountain (Matthew 17:3; Mark 9:4).
The call and ministry of Moses is summarized in this beloved African American spiritual. The final stanza in most hymnals apply the little refrain “Let my people go.” to everyone: “Let us all from bondage flee” and “let us all in Christ be free.”
Jesus discourse with Nicodemus (John 3:14-17) includes reference to what Nicodemus surely knew from his study of the Torah (Numbers 21:6-9). Jesus continues applying that reference to himself in what has become possibly the most memorized verse in scripture. The song is set to a well-known English folk melody.
The book of Exodus recounts how Moses led the people of Israel out of slavery through the desert, following God’s presence in the pillars of cloud and fire (Exodus 13:21). This hymn reminds us of those deep roots of our faith, as we follow Christ in faith led by the Holy Spirit to “a future yet unknown” (st. 4), trusting that Christ will bring all his people home to the place he is preparing for us (John 14:1).
A narrative account of the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-13), naming both Moses and Elijah, as “Christ ‘mid the Law and Prophets stood.”
