For Ever We Would Gaze on Thee (EN 3809)

EN 3809 For Ever We Would Gaze on Thee

Luke.9.28

Versi Version 1

1

For ever we would gaze on Thee,

O Lord, upon the Mount;

With Moses and Elias see

That light from Light’s own Fount;

2

For ever with the chosen three

Would stand upon that height,

And in that blessed company

Be plunged in pure delight.

3

For ever would we train the ear

To that celestial Voice;

In Thee, the Son of God, so near

For evermore rejoice.

4

Here would we pitch our constant tent,

For ever here abide;

And dwell in peace and full content,

Dear Master, at Thy side.

5

But no! not yet to man ’tis given

To rest upon that height;

’Tis but a passing glimpse of Heav’n;

We must descend and fight.

6

Beneath the Mount is toil and pain;

O Christ, Thy strength impart;

Till we, transfigured, too, shall reign

For ever where Thou art.
