Transfiguration

By Gerald Sumeracki

"John, James, Peter,
"Let's go high on the hill
"For I do want you there to see
"And hear my Father's will."

Thus Jesus spoke and called them
And follow Him they did
Upon the summit they did see
A sight from which they hid.

There Jesus glowed like sunlight
As talked He with the past
To Moses and Elijah both
They watched with eyes held fast!

Their Lord and King shown brightly
They heard the Father's sound
"This is my only Son you hear--"
Fear struck them to the ground.

Then Jesus gently touched them
And as their heads came up
He said "This vision tell no one
"Until I've drunk my cup."

And so they kept their silence
The vision stayed in mind
Until in glory Christ was raised
Our God - now men could find.
