Tune: Laos Deo
('Bright the vision that delighted')
Mark 9 v.1-7
*******
Jesus transfigured on the mount
There revealed His inward fount
His divine glory expounded
He by all men could be read
His raiment did become shining
Exceeding white, that nothing
On earth could give a brighter sight
Than His true and holy light
Peter, James, and John with Him there
In that event they did share
Moses and Elijah there too
Spoke of His decease anew
Peter said, It is good that we
Be here, and let us now, see
make three shelters, do here abide
In these places do reside
Then a voice come out of a cloud
God's presence it did enshroud
This is my beloved Son sure
Hear Him, he brings life e'ermore
Guard our lips Lord, in our speaking
not to say just anything
When of fear we may say something
That will not of profit bring
But speaking your words of life, we
Show of your salvation free
Hearing words of your Son, they be
Words of life eternally

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7. metre. The original hymn is not based on this passage, though it could be so. It is based on a vision the Old Testament prophet Isaiah had.

That eternal life is with us all Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
Thanks UNCLE STEVE ~ Lovely hymn to start (BRIAN) and finish (ANGELA) the DAY ! We know JESUS is the Son of God and an integral Member of the DIVINE TRINITY ! The Disciples needed convincing (Think of Doubting Thomas !) The MOUNT of TRANSFIGURATION really gave them a clue. PETER records later "We were with Him on the MOUNT" and JOHN records "We beheld His Glory" AMEN. Thanks for a lovely POEM on a unique event.
Blessings & love in the Spirit ~
