Tune: | DEO GRACIAS |
1 Oh, wondrous type! Oh, vision fair
Of glory that the Church may share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows,
Where brighter than the sun he glows!
2 With Moses and Elijah nigh
Th' incarnate Lord holds converse high,
And from the cloud the Holy One
Bears record to the only Son.
3 With shining face and bright array
Christ deigns to manifest today
What glory shall be theirs above
Who trust in his atoning love.
4 And faithful hearts are raised on high
By this great vision's mystery,
For which in joyful strains we raise
The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.
5 O Father, with th' eternal Son
And Holy Spirit ever one,
We pray you, bring us by your grace
To see your glory face to face.
