No tokens of your love I see, your face is turned away from me; I wrestle with despair. 2 How long, O Lord, will you forsake and leave me in this way? When will you come to my relief?

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Transfiguration 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 in upon our darkness, splendour 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. Scripture: 2 Kings 2:1-14 Used With Tune: O MEIN JESU, ICH MUSS STERBEN

Though sinners boldly join Against the Lord to rise, Against his Christ combine, Th’ Anointed to despise; Though earth disdain And hell engage, Vain is their rage, Their counsel vain. 2. Jesus the Saviour reigns! On Zion is his throne; The Lord’s decree sustains His own begotten Son: Up from the grave He bids him rise, And mounts the skies With power to save. 3. O serve the Lord with fear, And rev’rence his command; With sacred joy draw near, With solemn trembling stand; Kneel at his throne, Your homage bear, His pow’r declare, And kiss the Son.
