'Tis good, Lord, to be here

Author: Joseph Armitage Robinson (1858-1933) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #281 (2013) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 1 'Tis good, Lord, to be here, thy glory fills the night; thy face and garments, like the sun, shine with unborrowed light. 2 'Tis good, Lord, to be here, thy beauty to behold, where Moses and Elijah stand, thy messengers of old. 3 Fulfiller of the past, promise of things to be, we hail thy body glorified, and our redemption see. 4 Before we taste of death, we see thy kingdom come; we fain would hold the vision bright, and make this hill our home. 5 'Tis good, Lord, to be here, yet we may not remain; but since thou bidst us leave the mount, come with us to the plain.
