Behold Our Lord: Then and Now

then and now

Behold our Lord transfigured,

In Sacrament Divine;

His glory deeply hidden,

 'Neath forms of Bread and Wine.

+++

Our eyes of faith behold Him,

Salvation is outpoured;

The Saviour dwells among us,

 by ev'ry heart adored.

+++ 

 No longer on the mountain

With Peter, James and John,

Our precious Saviour bids us

To walk where saints have gone.

+++

He has no lasting dwelling,

Save in the hearts of men;

 He feeds us with His Body,

 To make us whole again.

+++

 With Moses and Elijah,

 We worship Christ our King;

Lord, make our souls transfigured,

Let us with angels sing.

+++

 Lead us in paths of glory,

Give tongues to sing thy praise;

Lord Jesus, keep us faithful,

 Now and for all our days.

+++
