When at a distance, Lord, we trace

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #118 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When at a 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 farewell, 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. Topics: Christ Life and Ministry; Christ's Transfiguration Scripture: Matthew 17:4
