Transfiguration Hymn
Tune: TERRA BEATA (“This Is My Father’s World”, Glory to God #370)
Lyrics: Rev. Elana Keppel Levy, 2018
1. The disciples followed Christ
Up a high mountain apart.
He preached the Word,
but they had not heard
The wisdom from his heart.
We seek to follow Christ
And listen for his call.
Help us to hear, even though we fear
Our faith may prove too small.
2. And before their very eyes
They saw him shining bright.
His face, his clothes, his very soul
Were bathed in glorious light.
We seek to follow Christ
With vision pure and clear
To see his glow everywhere we go
And to his truth draw near.
3. The disciples wanted Christ
And prophets from the past
To stay in tents, but they could not sense
The moment would not last.
We seek to follow Christ
Through what we can control.
Give us the nerve to let go and serve
G-d’s glory to extol.
