Hymns of the Lutheran Church

96 Oh, Wondrous Type! Oh, Vision Fair

1 Oh, wondrous type! Oh, vision fair Of glory that the Church may share, Which Christ upon the mountain shows, Where brighter than the sun he glows! 2 With Moses and Elijah nigh Th'incarnate Lord holds converse high, 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 trust in his atoning love. 4 And 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. 5 O Father, with th'eternal Son And Holy Spirit ever one, We pray you, bring us by your grace To see your glory face to face.
