How Good, Lord, to Be Here

Your glory fills the night; Your face and garments, like the sun, Shine with unborrowed light. 2 How good, Lord, to be here Your beauty to behold, Where Moses and Elijah stand, Your messengers of old. 3 Fulfiller of the past, Promise of things to be, We hail your body glorified And our redemption see. 4 Before we taste of death, We see your kingdom come; We long to hold the vision bright And make this hill our home. 5 How good, Lord, to be here! Yet we may not remain; But since you bid us leave the mount, Come with us to the plain. Topics: Transfiguration; Transfiguration Used With Tune: POTSDAM

Two Thousand Troubled Years

Author: Alfred Hayes Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Two thousand troubled years Time’s weary brow have worn, Since that strange star to shepherds told The Prince of Peace was born. 2 Two thousand years of gloom, Of groping toward the light, Of prophets scorned and martyrs slain, And battle done for right. 3 But year by year the bells The old glad tidings bring, And men forget their strife, to keep The birthday of the King. 4 Christ’s kingdom yet will come, And good prevail o’er ill, Though often with a crown of thorns We mock the Master still. 5 But He will not forsake The world for which He died, Till all mankind be gathered home At the great Christmastide.
