When Jesus Led His Chosen Three

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Epiphany Transfiguration Lyrics: 1. When Jesus led his chosen three To lift the shadow from their sight, And on the mountain let them see His face transfigured, crowned with light: What grace that day to them was given! To men on Earth, a glimpse of Heav'n. 2. There Moses and Elijah stood And spoke about his exodus, Their freedom purchased by his blood, A passover most marvellous! The law and prophets meet their Lord, See God revealed, and man restored. 3. Then from the cloud there came a voice, "This is my own belovèd Son"; The Scriptures' theme, the Father's choice, Their master stood supreme, alone: They saw his glory, and they heard The one eternal, living Word. 4. So may we see and know this grace: The truth, which like a burning light Illuminates the darkest place Till Christ himself shall end the night: When to his people's longing eyes God's day shall dawn, his sun shall rise. Scripture: 2 Peter 1:16-18 Used With Tune: STELLA

Scripture: Isaiah 62:3 Used With Tune: KING'S WESTON

Accept my sacrifice of praise and make me know your judgments, LORD. 3 When danger brings me close to death, your law stays with me night and day. The wicked lay a snare for me, yet from your truth I will not stray. 4 Your precepts are my heritage, they make my heart and soul rejoice. To keep your statutes faithfully shall ever be my willing choice. Scripture: Psalm 119:105-112 Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN Text Sources: Psalter, 1912

How Lovely Is Your Dwelling

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Church Year Transfiguration Lyrics: 1 How lovely is your dwelling, O Lord of hosts, to me; my soul is longing, fainting, the courts of God to see. The beauty of your dwelling will bring me joy anew. My heart and flesh are crying, O living God, for you. 2 Beneath your care the sparrow finds place for peaceful rest; to keep her young in safety the swallow finds a nest. So, Lord, my King Almighty, your love will shelter me; beneath your wings of mercy my dwelling place will be. 3 Blest they who love and serve you, whose joy and strength you are. Forever they will praise you, your ways are in their heart. Though tried, their tears like showers shall fill the springs of peace, and all the way to Zion their strength shall still increase.
