Tune: Leibster Jesu
('Dearest Jesu, we are here')
Based on Matthew 17 v.1-9 parts
*******
Lord, upon the holy mount
Revealed was your inner light's fount
Brighter than all human light
Shown there to the disciples sight
Peter, James, and John did there share
In a view, glimpse of glory rare
Moses and Elijah too
Did there sure their presence endue
Talking with the Lord, for He
Would a ransom for sinners be
Help us Lord, through hill and valley
To focus, and your glory see
As you were transfigured then
So a hope to inspire all men (mankind)
For you came to change us too
E'er your image in us renew
Though we may wish in mounts to stay
Yet you present with us each day
High and low, through good and ill
What we may face, you are there still
Guide, empower, help us change
By your Spirit, this be the range
Transformed to image of your Son
Whole and perfect, the holy one
