The Chosen Three, on Mountain Height

Verse 1

The chosen three, on mountain hight, While Jesus bowed in prayer, Beheld His vesture glow with light, His face shine wondrous fair.

Verse 2

And lo! with the transfigured Lord, Leader and seer they saw; With Carmel's hoary prophet stood The giver of the law.

Verse 3

From the low-bending cloud above, Whence radiant brightness shone, Spake out the Father's voice of love, "Hear my beloved Son!"

Verse 4

Lord, lead us to the mountain hight; To prayer's transfiguring glow; And clothe us with the Spirit's might, For grander work below.
