Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #327 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O wondrous sight! Lyrics: 1 O wondrous sight! O vision fair
of glory that the church shall share,
which Christ upon the mountain shows,
where brighter than the sun he glows!
2 From age to age the tale declares
how with the three disciples there
where Moses and Elijah meet,
the Lord holds converse high and sweet.
3 The law and prophets there have place,
two chosen witnesses of grace;
the Father's voice from out the cloud
proclaims his only Son aloud.
4 With shining face and bright array,
Christ deigns to manifest that day
what glory shall be theirs above
who joy in God with perfect love.
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. Topics: Transfiguration; Christian year--Transfiguration Scripture: Matthew 17:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: DEO GRACIAS (AGINCOURT SONG)
