On the Mount of Transfiguration

Revelation in its plainest form, Glory revealed before the naked eyes; To whom is this understanding granted? Oh behold Him on the mount of holiness— Oh behold the transfigured Christ! A brightness beyond the sun's compare, Yet visible to the eyes of the beloved; Of them that are born of a woman, None indeed is greater than John the Baptist; But of a truth in the Kingdom of God, The least of the heirs are greater than he! Peter, always in a hurry to speak, Thought it wise to build three thrones: One each for the Lord, Moses, and Elijah; If only he knew with Whom he stood— That no one can ever be equal with Him! The Light that shines the brightest, The Tabernacle not made with hands; Yet the humblest and loveliest of them all, Who came to redeem a world of darkness. Revelation in its most naked frame, Redemption before the blindest eyes; To whom is this understanding granted? Oh behold the Saviour of the world... On The Mount of Transfiguration.
