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!
2
The law and prophets there have place,
The chosen witnesses of grace,
And from the cloud the Holy One
Bears record to the only Son.
3
With shining face and bright array,
Christ deigns to manifest today
What glory shall be theirs above
Who joy in God with perfect love.
4
And faithful hearts are raised on high
By this great vision’s mystery,
For which in thankful strains we raise
On this glad day the voice of praise.
