Christ's Transfiguration

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXXXV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: When at this distance, Lord, we trace Lyrics: 1 When at this distance, Lord, we trace The various glories of thy face, What transport pours o'er all our breast, And charms our cares and woes to rest. 2 With thee in the obscurest cell On some bleak mountain would I dwell, Rather than pompous courts behold, And share their grandeur and their gold. 3 Away, ye dreams of mortal joy! Raptures divine my thoughts employ: I see the King of glory shine; And feel his love, and call him mine. 4 On tabor, thus his servants view'd His lustre, when transform'd he stood; And, bidding earthly scenes farewel, Cries, "Lord, 'tis pleasant here to dwell." 5 Yet still our elevated eyes To nobler visions long to rise; That grand Assembly would we join, Where all thy saints around thee shine. 6 That mount how bright! those forms how fair! 'Tis good to dwell for ever there: Come, death, dear envoy of my God, And bear me to that blest abode.
