O Wondrous Sight, O Vision Fair

Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 103 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O wondrous sight, O vision fair Of glory that the church shall share, Which Christ upon the mountain shows, Where brighter than the sun He glows! 2 From age to age the tale declare, How with the three disciples there, Where Moses and Elijah meet, The Lord holds converse high and sweet. 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. 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. 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.

O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; Learn from Christ to bear the cross. 3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God’s own sacrifice complete; “It is finished!” hear Him cry; Learn from Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid His breathless clay: All is solitude and gloom. Who has taken Him away? Christ is risen! He meets our eyes. Savior, teach us so to rise. Scripture: Matthew 26:36-39 Used With Tune: REDHEAD 76
