Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #147b (1958) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America Lyrics: 1 O wondrous type, O vision fair
Of glory that the Church shall share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows,
Where brighter than the sun he glows!
2 With shining face and bright array,
Christ deigns to manifest today
What glory shall be theirs above,
Who joy in God with perfect love. A-men.
3 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.
4 O Father, with the eternal Son
And Holy Spirit ever One,
Vouchsafe to bring us by thy grace
To see thy glory face to face.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Saints' Days - Minor Festivals Languages: English Tune Title: CAMERONIAN MIDNIGHT HYMN
