We have come at Christ's own bidding

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #187 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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 in upon our darkness; 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.

A Song of Wisdom (Sapientia liberavit): Canticle A (metrical paraphrase)

Author: Patricia B. Clark (b. 1938) Hymnal: Wonder, Love, and Praise #905 (1997) First Line: Wisdom freed a holy people Lyrics: 1 Wisdom freed a holy people, blameless from oppressors’ sword, and withstood, with signs and wonders, rulers dread to serve the Lord. Giving them reward of labors, led the saints along her way, she was blaze of stars in darkness and a shelter through the day. 2 Through the Red Sea safely brought them, led along the waters steep, but their enemies she swallowed, overwhelmed them in the deep. For salvation, Lord, the righteous praised your name with one accord: song-filled tongues of newborn people uttered Wisdom’s mighty word.
