Religion
Luke 9:31: In momentary majesty
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
In momentary majesty
My Saviour on the mount I see,
As on His dazzling throne,
But when the glorious God appears,
He still remains the Man of tears,
And speaks of death alone.
May this alone my thoughts employ
In triumph of ecstatic joy.
And temper the delight;
The moment that transports me hence,
And bids eternity commence.
Be ever in my sight.
