Come to the Mountain Peak (A Hymn for Transfiguration Sunday)
Christ's Transfiguration
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXXXV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Transfiguration of Christ First Line: When at this distance, Lord, we trace Lyrics: 1 When at this distance, Lord, we trace
The various glories of thy face,
What transport pours o'er all our breast,
And charms our cares and woes to rest.
2 With thee in the obscurest cell
On some bleak mountain would I dwell,
Rather than pompous courts behold,
And share their grandeur and their gold.
3 Away, ye dreams of mortal joy!
Raptures divine my thoughts employ:
I see the King of glory shine;
And feel his love, and call him mine.
4 On tabor, thus his servants view'd
His lustre, when transform'd he stood;
And, bidding earthly scenes farewel,
Cries, "Lord, 'tis pleasant here to dwell."
5 Yet still our elevated eyes
To nobler visions long to rise;
That grand Assembly would we join,
Where all thy saints around thee shine.
6 That mount how bright! those forms how fair!
'Tis good to dwell for ever there:
Come, death, dear envoy of my God,
And bear me to that blest abode. Scripture: Matthew 17:4 Languages: English

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #182 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Jesus Christ Transfiguration; Transfiguration; Year A Epiphany Last / Transfiguration; Year B Epiphany Last / Transfiguration Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding
to this high and holy place,
where we wait with hope and longing
for some token of God’s grace.
Here we pray for new assurance
that our faith is not in vain,
searching like those first disciples
for a sign both clear and plain.
2 Light breaks through our clouds and shadows,
splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word,
Moses and Elijah marvel
as the heavenly voice is heard.
Eyes and hearts behold with wonder
how the Law and Prophets meet:
Christ with garments drenched in brightness,
stands transfigured and complete.
3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory,
fearful lest our faith decline,
We, like Peter, find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine.
But true worship gives us courage
to proclaim what we profess,
That our daily lives may prove us
people of the God we bless.

Author: Michael Hewlett (b. 1916) Hymnal: New Church Praise #75 (1975) Meter: 6.6.8.5.6.6.8.4 Topics: Transfiguration 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. Languages: English Tune Title: TRANSFIGURATION

High on the mountain here with Thee,
Where stand revealed to mortal gaze
Those glorious saints of other days,
Who once received on Horeb's height
Th'eternal laws of truth and right,
Or caught the still small whisper, higher
Than storm, than earthquake, or than fire.
2 Lord, it is good for us to be
Entranced, enwrapt, alone with Thee;
And watch Thy glistering raiment glow
Whiter than Hermon's whitest snow,
The human lineaments that shine
Irradiant with a light divine:
Till we too change from grace to grace,
Gazing on that transfigured face.
3 Lord, it is good for us to be
Here on the holy mount with Thee;
When darkling in the depths of night,
When dazzled with excess of light,
We bow before the heavenly voice
That bids bewildered souls rejoice,
Though love wax cold, and faith be dim:
"This is my Son; O hear ye Him!"

We would abide with Thee,
Still drinking from the blessed fount
Of grace, so rich and free.
2 There prophets praise Thy glorious Name,
And deeds which Thou hast done;
And there the Father's words proclaim
His own beloved Son.
3 The rays of Thy transfigured face
Beam with such golden light
That we would never leave the place,
Nor lose the heavenly sight.
4 But there is work on earth to do,
The suffering souls to heal;
The harvest great, the laborers few
Thy kingdom to reveal.
5 We may not linger on the mount,
Where bright Thy glories shine;
We may not taste the sacred fount
Of blessedness divine.
6 But let some beams of heavenly light
Make bright our earthly way;
Then grant the beatific sight
Of heaven the endless day.

2 Of old to priests and prophets known
with trembling, fear and awe,
he gave his people, set in stone,
his statutes and his law.
By those who called upon his name
the voice of God was heard,
his presence shown in cloud and flame
when they obeyed his word.

who hears his people's cry,
and come with songs before his face,
exalt his name on high!

from sin and all its stains,

where God in glory reigns. Scripture: Psalm 99 Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

Transfigured Christ, None Comprehends
Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #168 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Transfiguration Lyrics: 1 Transfigured Christ, none comprehends
your majesty, whose splendour stuns
all waking souls; whose light transcends
the brightness of a thousand suns!
2 You stand with Moses on the hill,
you speak of your new exodus.
The way through death, you will fulfil
by dying helpless on the cross.
3 You stand here with Elijah too,
by whom the still small voice was heard:
and you, yourself, will prove God true,
made mute in death, incarnate Word.
4 If we could bear your brightness here
and stay for ever in your light,
then we would conquer grief and fear,
and scorn the terrors of the night.
5 But, from the heights, you bring us down,
to share earth's agonies with you,
where piercing thorns are made your crown
and death, accepted, proves love true.
6 Majestic Christ, God's well-loved son,
if we must share your grief and loss,
transfigure us, when all is done,
with glory shining from your cross. Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-18 Languages: English Tune Title: BROCKHAM

Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.
2. Dark and cheerless is the morn
unaccompanied by thee;
joyless is the day's return,
till thy mercy's beams I see;
till they inward light impart,
cheer my eyes and warm my heart.
3. Visit then this soul of mine;
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, Radiancy divine,
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more thyself display,
shining to the perfect day.
