- 1O 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!
- 2From age to age the tale declare,
- How with the three disciples there,
- Where Moses and Elijah meet,
- The Lord holds converse high and sweet.
- 3With shining face and bright array,
- Christ deigns to manifest to-day
- What glory shall be theirs above
- Who joy in God with perfect love.
- 4And faithful hearts are raised on high
- By this great vision's mystery,
- For which in joyful strains we raise
- The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.
- 5O Father, with the eternal Son
- And Holy Spirit, ever One,
- Vouchsafe to bring us by Thy grace
- To see Thy glory face to face.
- 6Amen.
