The Cyber Hymnal ‎#1123

1123. The Chosen Three, on Mountain Height

1. The chosen three, on mountain height,
While Jesus bowed in prayer,
Beheld His vesture glow with light,
His face shine wondrous fair.

2. And lo! with the transfigured Lord,
Leader and seer they saw;
With Carmel’s hoary prophet stood
The giver of the law.

3. From the low bending cloud above,
Whence radiant brightness shone,
Spake out the Father’s voice of love,
Hear My belovèd Son!

4. Lord, lead us to the mountain height;
To prayer’s transfiguring glow;
And clothe us with the Spirit’s might
For grander work below.
