'Tis Good, Lord, to Be Here

Verse 1

'Tis good, Lord, to be here! Your glory fills the night; Your face and garments, like the sun, Shine with unborrowed light.

Verse 2

'Tis good, Lord, to be here, Your beauty to behold, Where Moses and Elijah stand, Your messengers of old.

Verse 3

Fulfiller of the past! Promise of things to be! We hail your body glorified, And our redemption see.

Verse 4

Before we taste of death, We see your kingdom come; We long to hold the vision bright, And make this hill our home.

Verse 5

'Tis good, Lord, to be here! Yet we may not remain; But since you bid us leave the mount, Come with us to the plain.
