O Master, It Is Good to Be (EN 3815)

EN 3815 O Master, It Is Good to Be

Luke.9.33

Versi Version 1

1

O Master, it is good to be

High on the mountain here with Thee,

Where stand revealed to mortal gaze

Those glorious saints of other days,

Who once received on Horeb’s height

Th’eternal laws of truth and right,

Or caught the still small whisper, higher

Than storm, than earthquake, or than fire.

2

O Master, it is good to be

With Thee, and with Thy faithful three;

Here, where the Apostle’s heart of rock

Is nerved against temptation’s shock;

Here, where the Son of Thunder learns

The thought that breathes, and word that burns;

Here, where on eagle wings we move

With him whose last best creed is love.

3

O Master, it is good to be

Entranced, enwrapt, alone with Thee;

And watch Thy glistening raiment glow

Whiter than Hermon’s whitest snow;

The human lineaments that shine

Irradiant with a light divine;

Till we too change from grace to grace,

Gazing on that transfigured face.

4

O Master, it is good to be

Here on the holy mount with Thee;

When darkling in the depths of night,

When dazzled with excess of light,

We bow before the heavenly voice

That bids bewildered souls rejoice,

Though love wax cold, and faith be dim,

“This is My Son, O hear ye Him.”
