Christ, upon the mountain peak –
B Wren
Christ upon the mountain peak
stands alone in glory blazing;
let us, if we dare to speak,
with the saints and angels praise him.
Alleluia!
Trembling at his feet we saw
Moses and Elijah speaking.
All the prophets and the Law
shout through them their joyful greeting.
Alleluia!
Swift the cloud of glory came.
God proclaiming in its thunder
Jesus as his Son by name!
Nations cry aloud in wonder!
Alleluia!
This is God's beloved Son!
Law and prophets before him;
first and last and only One,
let creation now adore him!
Alleluia!

O Light of light, by love
inclined – Latin 10th cent / L Houseman trans
O Light of light, by love inclined,
Jesus, Redeemer of mankind,
with loving-kindness deign to hear
from suppliant voices praise and prayer.
Thou who to raise our souls from hell
didst deign in fleshly form to dwell,
vouchsafe us, when our race is run,
in thy fair body to be one.
More bright than day thy face did show,
thy raiment whiter than the snow,
when on the mount to mortals blest
man's maker thou was manifest.
Two prophets, that had faith tosee,
with thine elect found company,
where unto each, divinely shown,
the Godhead veiled in form was known.
The heavens above his glory named,
the Father's voice his Son proclaimed;
to whom, the King of glory now,
all faithful hearts adoring bow.
May all who seek thy praise aright
through purer lives show forth thy light;
so to the brightness of the skies
by holy deeds our hearts shall rise.
Eternal God, to thee we raise,
the King of kings, our hymn of praise,
who Three in One and One in Three
doth live and reign eternally.

All praise to thee, O Lord – H Beadon
All
praise to you, O Lord,
who by your mighty pow'r
did manifest your glory forth
in Cana's marriage hour.

You speak,
and it is done;
obedient to your word,
the water redd'ning into wine
proclaims the present Lord.

O, may
this grace be ours:
in you always to live
and drink of those refreshing streams
which you alone can give.

So, led
from strength to strength,
grant us, O Lord, to see
the marriage supper of the Lamb,
the great epiphany.
