Christ, upon the Mountain Peak

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 7.8.7.8 R with alleluias Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:2-8 Lyrics: 1 Christ, upon the mountain peak, stands alone in glory blazing. Let us, if we dare to speak, with the saints and angels praise him. Alleluia, alleluia! 2 Trembling at his feet we saw Moses and Elijah speaking. All the prophets and the law shout through them their joyful greeting. Alleluia, alleluia! 3 Swift the cloud of glory came, God proclaiming in its thunder Jesus as his Son by name! Nations, cry aloud in wonder! Alleluia, alleluia! 4 This is God's beloved Son! Law and prophets fade before him; first and last and only One, let creation now adore him! Alleluia, alleluia!

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:2-8 Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding to this high and holy place, where we wait with hope and longing for some token of God’s grace. Here we pray for new assurance that our faith is not in vain, searching like those first disciples for a sign both clear and plain. 2 Light breaks through our clouds and shadows, splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word, Moses and Elijah marvel as the heavenly voice is heard. Eyes and hearts behold with wonder how the Law and Prophets meet: Christ with garments drenched in brightness, stands transfigured and complete. 3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory, fearful lest our faith decline, we, like Peter, find it tempting to remain and build a shrine. But true worship gives us courage to proclaim what we profess, that our daily lives may prove us people of the God we bless.

O Wondrous Sight! O Vision Fair

Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 103 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:2-8 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 declares 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 that day 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.

Sing of God Made Manifest

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:2-13 Lyrics: 1 Sing of God made manifest in a child robust and blest, to whose home in Bethlehem where a star had guided them, Magi came and gifts unbound, signs mysterious and profound: myrrh and frankincense and gold grave and God and King foretold. 2 Sing of God made manifest when at Jordan John confessed, "I should be baptized by you, but your bidding I will do." Then from heaven a double sign-- dove-like Spirit, voice divine-- hailed the true Anointed One: "This is my beloved Son." 3 Sing of God made manifest when Christ came as wedding guest and at Cana gave a sign, turning water into wine; further still was love revealed as he taught, forgave, and healed, bringing light and life to all who would listen to God's call. 4 Sing of God made manifest on the cloud capped mountain's crest, where the law and prophets waned so that Christ alone remained: glimpse of glory, pledge of grace, given as Jesus set his face towards the waiting cross and grave, sign of hope that God would save.

Bell, 1862-1947 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:2-10 Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days We celebrate with songs of praise; For Christ, by whom all things were made, Himself has fasted and has prayed. 2 Alone and fasting Moses saw The loving God who gave the law; And to Elijah, fasting, came The steeds and chariots of flame. 3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight, Delivered from the lion's might; And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became The herald of Messiah’s name. 4 Then grant that we like them be true, Consumed in fast and prayer with you; Our spirits strengthen with your grace, And give us joy to see your face.
