Once on a mountain-top

Author: Michael Hewlett (b. 1916) Hymnal: NCP1975 #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

Our Lord, his passion ended

Author: F. C. Burkitt (1864-1935) Hymnal: NCP1975 #76 (1975) Lyrics: 1 Our Lord, his passion ended, hath gloriously ascended, yet though from him divided, he leaves us not unguided; all his benefits to crown he hath sent his Spirit down, burning like a flame of fire his disciples to inspire. 2 God's Spirit is directing; no more they sit expecting; but forth to all the nation they go with exultation; that which God in them hath wrought fills their life and soul and thought, so their witness now can do work as great in others too. 3 The centuries go gliding but still we have abiding with us that Spirit Holy to make us brave and lowly-- lowly, for we feel our need, God alone is strong indeed; brave, for with the Spirit's aid we can venture unafraid. 4 O Lord of every nation, fill us with inspiration! We know our own unfitness, yet for thee would bear witness. By thy Spirit now we raise to the heavenly Father praise: Holy Spirit, Father, Son, make us know thee, ever One.

Out of our failure to create

Author: Fred Kaan (b . 1929) Hymnal: NCP1975 #77 (1975) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Out of our failure to create a world of love and care; out of the depths of human life we cry to God in prayer. 2 Out of the darkness of our time, of days for ever gone, our souls are longing for the light, like watchmen for the dawn. 3 Out of the depths we cry to him whose will is strong and just; all human hole-and-corner ways are by his light exposed. 4 Hope in the Lord whose timeless Jove gives laughter where we wept; the father, who at every point his word has given and kept.
