1. From the mount of our Lord's glory, Other mountaintops appear. Peaks in concert sing this story: Our salvation has drawn near. Shine, O Lord, from every height Rays of wisdom, peace, and light!
2. Moses from Mount Sinai preaches Words in stone that shatter hearts. Down into the depths he reaches, Bidding us from sin depart. Rise, repent, O Christian, see Light and life on Calvary!
3. As Elijah battles evil, Truth and lies on Carmel fight, Christians strive against the devil; Warfare is our daily plight. Grant us peace midst war and loss, From the mount of our Lord's cross.
4. Jesus from Mount Calv'ry preaches Blood soaked words that heal our hearts. Warfare ends, the battle ceases, Peace and hope our Lord imparts. Christ, transfixed on Calv'ry's tree, Grant that we transfigured be!
5. Here we see salvation's story, Here the law has been fulfilled, Here is Christ in thorncrowned glory, Here our hearts His peace has stilled. Here, our Lord, upon that height, Shines on us as Light of Light!
