THE HYMNARY: 368. THE TRANSFIGURATION, by JEAN BAPTISTE SANTEUIL Poet's Biography First Line: O christ, how potent is thy grace Last Line: All praise be given. | |||
OCHRIST, how potent is Thy grace! Ne'er doth Thy loving-kindness fail, Whether we see Thee through a veil, Or face to face. Now his adopted sons are we Who called Thee Son: our Surety thus Gives His unfailing pledge to us Of bliss to be. O Father, Son, what then was shown, Upon the Mount, the cloud dispelled? The types are gone; the three beheld Truth stand alone. O feebly tracked by Faith's dim ray, Lord, may we one day share Thy bliss; See Thee; enjoy Thee; bursting this Our prison of clay. To Him Who said, the bright cloud riven, "This is My Son"; and, Son, to Thee; To Thee, Blest Spirit; One in Three, All praise be given. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE HYMNARY: 389.
