Verse 1
Oh, wondrous type, oh, vision fair,
Of glory that the church shall share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows,
Where brighter than the sun he glows!
Verse 2
From age to age the tale declare,
How with the three disciples there,
Where Moses and Elias meet,
The Lord holds converse high and sweet.
Verse 3
The law and prophets there have place,
Two chosen witnesses of grace;
The Father’s voice from out the cloud
Proclaimed his only Son aloud.
Verse 4
With shining face and bright array
Christ deigns to manifest to-day,
What glory shall be theirs above
Who joy in God with perfect love.
