Our Savior Christ once knelt in prayer with none but three disciples there, upon a lonely mountain high beneath a blue expanse of sky-- below them, far as eye could see, the little hills of Galilee. There as he prays a radiance bright transfigures all his form to light; high robe in dazzling splendor shows a purer white than sunlit snows, while on his countenance divine transcendent glories burn and shine. So for a moment stands revealed what human flesh and form concealed; while Moses and Elijah share in earth and heaven mingled there, with him whom prophecy foresaw, the true fulfiller of the law. The shadowed summit, wrapped in cloud, sounds to a voice that echoes loud, "This is my true beloved Son, listen to him, my chosen one." The glory fades; with all its pains the road to Calvary remains. Give to us, Lord, the eyes to see as saw those first disciples three: a teacher true, a friend indeed, the risen Savior sinners need, the Son whose praise eternal rings, the Lord of lords and King of kings!
