Author: F. L. Hosmer, 1840- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #492 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Not always on the mount may be
Rapt in the heavenly vision be;
The shores of thought and feeling know
The Spirit's tidal ebb and flow.
2 Lord, it is good abiding here
We cry, the heavenly presence near;
The vision vanishes, our eyes
Are lifted into vacant skies!
3 Yet hath one such exalted hour,
Upon the soul redeeming power,
And in its strength through after days
We travel our appointed ways;
4 Till all the lowly vale grows bright,
Transfigured in remember light,
And in untiring souls we bear
The freshness of the upper air.
5 The mount for vision, but below
The paths of daily duty go,
And nobler life therein shall own
The pattern on the mountain shown. Topics: Inspiration For service; Service Inspiration for; Inspiration For service; Service Inspiration for; The Christian Life The Inner Life Languages: English Tune Title: LAUDS
