xix. On the Transfiguration of our Lord, the Sixth of August; A Hymn.
All you that seek Christ, let your Sight
Up to the Height directed be,
For there you may the Sign most bright
Of everlasting Glory see.
Up to the Height directed be,
For there you may the Sign most bright
Of everlasting Glory see.
A radiant Light we there behold,
Endless, unbounded, lofty, high;
Than Heaven or that rude Heap more old,
Wherein the World confus'd did lye.
Endless, unbounded, lofty, high;
Than Heaven or that rude Heap more old,
Wherein the World confus'd did lye.
The Gentiles this great Prince embrace;
The Jews obey this King's Command,
Promis'd to Abraham and his race
A Blessing while the World shall stand.
The Jews obey this King's Command,
Promis'd to Abraham and his race
A Blessing while the World shall stand.
By Mouths of Prophets free from Lyes,
Who seal the Witness which they bear,
His Father bidding testifies
That we should Him believe and hear.
Who seal the Witness which they bear,
His Father bidding testifies
That we should Him believe and hear.
Glory, O Lord, be given to Thee,
Who hast appear'd upon this Day;
And glory to the Father be,
And to the Holy Ghost for ay.
Who hast appear'd upon this Day;
And glory to the Father be,
And to the Holy Ghost for ay.
