When Christ was on the mount revealed

Verse 1

When Christ was on the mount reveal'd In his Disciples view, Their hearts with dread and fear was fill'd, With joy, and wonder too.

Verse 2

Their feeble eyes could scarce behold The brightness of his face; The Sun with all his glory could, Dart no such glorious rays.

Verse 3

To prove that Jesus was the Lord, Elias did appear; And Moses bore the same record, Whilst both convers'd him there.

Verse 4

A gracious voice from heaven came: This is mine only son! Give praise and honour to his name, And make his glories known.

Verse 5

Should we not wish with him to dwell? And view him ever more; Like the Disciples, hear and feel His glory, love and pow'r.

Verse 6

Can such a sight of Christ below Transport our souls with love? Far greater joys will He bestow, In the bright world above.
