HYMN 15. L. M. Weldon. [*] Christ's Transfiguration. Matt. xvii. 4. WHEN at this distance, Lord, we trace The various glories of thy face, What transport pours o'er all our breast, And charms our cares and woes to rest! 2 With thee, in the obscurest cell, On some bleak mountain would I dwell; Rather than pompous courts behold, And share their grandeur and their gold d 3 Away, ye charms of mortal joy! Raptures divine my thoughts employ ! o I see the King of glory shine ;e I feel his love, and call him mine. -4 On Tabor thus his servants viewed His lustre, when transformed he stood; And, bidding earthly scenes farewell, Cried, "Lord, 'tis pleasant here to dwell. -5 Yet still our elevated eyes To nobler visions long to rise; o That grand assembly would we join, Where all thy saints around thee shine. d 6 That mount-how bright! those forms-how fair' o 'Tis good to dwell forever there : -Come, death, dear envoy of our God, And bear me to that blest abode.

And can thy tenderness forget The sinner humbled at thy feet? e 5 With deep remorse our bowels move,That we have wronged such matchless love; e Thy gentle pity, Lord, display, And smile these trembling fears away. -6 Give us to shine before thy face, Eternal trophies of thy grace; o Where songs of praise thy saints employ, And mingle with a Saviour's joy.
