Christ, upon the Mountain Peak
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 7.8.7.8 R with alleluias Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:2-8 Lyrics: 1 Christ, upon the mountain peak,

Moses and Elijah speaking.
All the prophets and the law
shout through them their joyful greeting.
Alleluia, alleluia!

God proclaiming in its thunder
Jesus as his Son by name!
Nations, cry aloud in wonder!
Alleluia, alleluia!

Law and prophets fade before him;
first and last and only One,
let creation now adore him!
Alleluia, alleluia!

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank. M. North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:41 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear your voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to see
the true compassion of your face.
4 O Master, from the mountainside
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
and tread the city's streets again
5 till all the world shall learn your love
and follow where your feet have trod,
till glorious from your heaven above
shall come the city of our God.

Faith
Author: John R. Wreford Appears in 161 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:24 First Line: Lord, I believe; Thy power I own Lyrics: 1 Lord, I believe; thy power I own;
Thy word I would obey;
I wander comfortless and lone,
When from thy truth I stray.
2 Lord, I believe; but gloomy fears
Sometimes bedim my sight;
I look to thee with prayers and tears,
And cry for strength and light.
3 Lord, I believe; but oft, I know,
My faith is cold and weak:
My weakness strengthen, and bestow
The confidence I seek.
4 Yes! I believe; and only thou
Canst give my soul relief;
Lord, to thy truth my spirit bow;
"Help thou mine unbelief!" Topics: Christians Graces Used With Tune: MOUNT AUBURN

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:2-8 Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding
to this high and holy place,
where we wait with hope and longing
for some token of God’s grace.
Here we pray for new assurance
that our faith is not in vain,
searching like those first disciples
for a sign both clear and plain.
2 Light breaks through our clouds and shadows,
splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word,
Moses and Elijah marvel
as the heavenly voice is heard.
Eyes and hearts behold with wonder
how the Law and Prophets meet:
Christ with garments drenched in brightness,
stands transfigured and complete.
3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory,
fearful lest our faith decline,
we, like Peter, find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine.
But true worship gives us courage
to proclaim what we profess,
that our daily lives may prove us
people of the God we bless.

Pass Me Not
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Appears in 908 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:24 First Line: Pass me not, O gentle Savior Refrain First Line: Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry! Lyrics: 1 Pass me not, O gentle Savior--

Do not pass me by.
Chorus:
Savior, Savior,
Hear my humble cry!
While on others Thou are calling,
Do not pass me by.
2 Let me at a throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief. (Chorus)
3 Trusting only in Thy merit,
Would I seek Thy face;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace. (Chorus)
4 Thou the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me!
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heav’n but Thee. (Chorus)

Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 475 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:24 Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
triumph over shades of night:
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear!
2 Dark and cheerless is the dawn
till your glories shine on me;
joyless is the day’s return
till your mercy’s beams I see:
as they inward light impart,
cheer my eyes, and warm my heart.
3 Visit then this soul of mine,
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, Radiancy divine,
scatter all my unbelief:
more and more yourself display,
shining to the perfect day!

O Wondrous Sight! O Vision Fair
Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 103 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:2-8 Lyrics: 1. O wondrous sight! O vision fair
of glory that the church shall share,
which Christ upon the mountain shows,
where brighter than the sun he glows!
2. From age to age the tale declares
how with the three disciples there
where Moses and Elijah meet,
the Lord holds converse high and sweet.
3. The law and prophets there have place,
two chosen witnesses of grace;
the Father's voice from out the cloud
proclaims his only Son aloud.
4. With shining face and bright array,
Christ deigns to manifest that day
what glory shall be theirs above
who joy in God with perfect love.
5. And faithful hearts are raised on high
by this great vision's mystery;
for which in joyful strains we raise
the voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.

We Walk by Faith
Author: Henry Alford Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 72 hymnals Scripture: Mark 9:24 First Line: We walk by faith, and not by sight Lyrics: 1 We walk by faith, and not by sight;
with gracious words we hear
of him who spoke as none e'er spoke,
but we believe him near.
2 We may not touch his hands and side,
nor follow where he trod;
yet in his promise we rejoice,
and cry, "My Lord and God!"
3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief,
and may our faith abound;
to call on you when you are near,
and seek where you are found:
4 That when our life of faith is done
in realms of clearer light
may we behold you as you are,
in full and endless sight.
5 We walk by faith, and not by sight;
with gracious words we hear
of him who spoke as none e'er spoke,
but we believe him near. Topics: Grace Prayer, Trust, Hope Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
