Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #253 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 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 From age to age the tale declare,
How with the three disciples there,
Where Moses and Elias meet,
The Lord holds converse high and sweet.
3 The law and prophets there have place,
The chosen witnesses of grace;
The Father's voice from our the cloud
Proclaims His only Son aloud.
4 With shining face and bright array,
Christ deigns to manifest today
What glory shall to faith be given
When we enjoy our God in heaven.
5 And Christian hearts are raised on high
By that great vision's mystery,
For which in thankful strains we raise
On this glad day the voice of praise.
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. Topics: The Church Year Sixth Sunday after Epiphany; The Church Year Septuagesima; Church of Christ Tune Title: [O wondrous type, O vision fair]
