1. Glorious scene, those three appalling!
Blinded see them prostrate falling,
While the voice of God is calling,
"This is my beloved Son,
This is my beloved Son."

Chorus:
"This is My beloved Son.
This is My beloved Son,
This is My beloved Son,
In whom I am well pleased.
Hear ye Him;
Hear ye Him;
Hear ye Him;
O hear ye Him;
Hear ye Him, hear ye Him, hear ye Him.

2. God is speaking, mortals hear Him;
Awful voice, creation fears Him;
Owns His Son, bids men revere Him,
Bids them hear the gracious One,
Bids them hear the gracious one. [Chorus]

3. Through that voice to ev'ry nation,
God is offering salvation,
Free to men of ev'ry station.
Hear ye Him, He speaks today,
Bids them hear the gracious one. [Chorus]

4. Hear ye Him for sin enthralls you;
Hear ye Him ere harm befalls you;
Hear ye Him while yet He calls you,
Do not from Him turn away,
Do not from Him turn away. [Chorus]
