Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#147a

147a. O wondrous type, O vision fair

1 O wondrous type, O vision fair
Of glory that the Church shall share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows,
Where brighter than the sun he glows!

2 With shining face and bright array,
Christ deigns to manifest today
What glory shall be theirs above,
Who joy in God with perfect love. A-men.

3 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.

4 O Father, with the eternal Son
And Holy Spirit ever One,
Vouchsafe to bring us by thy grace
To see thy glory face to face.

Amen.
