Once on a mountain-top

Author: Michael Hewlett (b. 1916) Hymnal: New Church Praise #75 (1975) Meter: 6.6.8.5.6.6.8.4 Hymnal Title: New Church Praise Lyrics: 1 Once on a mountain-top there stood three startled men who saw the veil of nature drop and heaven shine in. Their friend of every day, the face they knew for his, they saw for one half-hour the way he always is. 2 Yet men have lived and died and found of God no trace. 'Thou art a God' (the prophet cried) 'who hidest thy face.' The earth lies all explored, the heavens are ours to climb; and still no man has seen his God at any time. 3 And minds that learn to scan creation like a book say nothing lives outside their plan and so never look. O Lord of hidden light, forgive us who despise the things which lie beyond our sight, and give us eyes. Topics: Transfiguration Languages: English Tune Title: TRANSFIGURATION
