Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Hymnal: Hymnal Supplement 1991 #735 (1991) Meter: 7.8.7.8.4 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.
Alleluia.
2 Trembling at his feet we saw
Moses and Elijah speaking.
All the prophets and the law
Shout through him their joyful greeting.
Alleluia.
3 Swift the cloud of glory came:
God proclaiming in the thunder
Jesus as the Son by name!
Nations cry aloud in wonder;
Alleluia.
4 This is God's beloved Son!
Law and prophets fade before him;
First and last the only One,
Let creation now adore him!
