Hymns - O Wondrous Type, O Vision Fair - Текст песни

O wondrous type, O vision fair
Of glory that the Church shall share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows,
Where brighter than the sun he glows!

The law and prophets there have place,
The chosen witnesses of grace;
The Father's voice from out the cloud
Proclaims his only Son aloud.

With shining face and bright array,
Christ deigns to manifest to-day
What glory shall to faith be given
When we enjoy our God in heaven.

And Christian hearts are raised on high
By that great vision's mystery,
For which in thankful strains we raise
On this glad day the voice of praise.
