Mark 9:7: Surrounded with the golden blaze
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Surrounded with the golden blaze.
Hid in the secret of His face,
Received within the lucid cloud.
Caught to the bosom of our God,
A voice shall bless us from the throne,
"This is My well-beloved Son,
The' essential Truth and Life Divine,
Through everlasting ages thine."
Faithful and good, thy Saviour hear,
And seeing live, all eye, all ear
Hear Him, and let thy joys abound,
And fall transported at the sound,
The utmost powers of music prove,
Be fed, be feasted with His love;
And while eternity glides on
Thy banquet is but just begun.
