Once on a mountain-top
Author: Michael Hewlett (b. 1916) Hymnal: New Church Praise #75 (1975) Meter: 6.6.8.5.6.6.8.4 Lyrics: 1 Once on a mountain-top
there stood three startled men
who saw the veil of nature drop
and heaven shine in.
Their friend of every day,
the face they knew for his,
they saw for one half-hour the way
he always is.
2 Yet men have lived and died
and found of God no trace.
'Thou art a God' (the prophet cried)
'who hidest thy face.'
The earth lies all explored,
the heavens are ours to climb;
and still no man has seen his God
at any time.
3 And minds that learn to scan
creation like a book
say nothing lives outside their plan
and so never look.
O Lord of hidden light,
forgive us who despise
the things which lie beyond our sight,
and give us eyes. Topics: Transfiguration Languages: English Tune Title: TRANSFIGURATION
