The chosen three, on mountain hight
1
The chosen three, on mountain hight,While Jesus bowed in prayer,Beheld his vesture glow with light,His face shine wondrous fair.
2
And lo! with the transfigured Lord,Leader and seer they saw;With Carmel's hoary prophet stoodThe giver of the law.
3
From the low-bending cloud above,Whence radiant brightness shone,Spake out the Father's voice of love,"Hear my beloved Son!"
4
Lord, lead us to the mountain hight;To prayer's transfiguring glow;And clothe us with the Spirit's might,For grander work below.
