The Transfiguration
Evening fast was falling
As Peter, James and John
Accompanied their Savior
Sense of weariness forgone
As they climbed a path on the mountain
That led them to the place
Where a manifestation of His divinity
Left its illuminating trace
While Jesus bowed in lowliness
Upon the stony ground
Suddenly, the heavens opened
God’s glory was all around
His holy radiance descended
Enshrouding Jesus’ slight form
Divinity flashed through humanity
His Godlike countenance was born
Besides Jesus appeared two beings
Standing in the light of glory bright
The outlines of Moses and Elijah
Seen so clearly in the night
Clothed with the light of heaven
Christ, the King of Heaven stood
Before the crown, must come the cross
Followed by the role, Priesthood.
