Lyrics
Verse 1
O wondrous type! O vision fair of glory that the Church may share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows,o where brighter than the sun He glows!
Verse 2
From age to age the tale declare,o how with the three disciples there,
Where Moses and Elijah meet, the Lord holds converse high and sweet.
Verse 3
The law and prophets there have place, two chosen witnesses of grace;
The Father's voice from out the cloud proclaims His only Son aloud.
Verse 4
With shining face and bright array, Christ deigns to manifest today
What glory shall be theirs above who joy in God with perfect love.
Verse 5
And faithful hearts are raised on high by this great vision's mystery;
For which in joyful strains we raise the voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.
Verse 6
O Father, with th'Eternal Son, and Holy Spirit, ever One,
Vouchsafe to bring us by Thy grace to see Thy glory face to face....
