As we prepare to enter the season of Lent, Brian shares a hymn we have yet to record - Down From the Mount of Glory. Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Down from the mount of glory Came Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Recall the wondrous story, Rich gem in sacred Word.
Again your faith will view him In double glory here;
The greater homage due him Will in your life appear.
Transfigured, Christ, the lowly, Stood radiant in the light,
Light found in Godhead solely, For human eyes too bright.
Then came a voice from heaven, Confirmed what here we see;
The words "my Son" were given To seal his deity.
Yet mark this glory hidden! See him the mount descend
And, by the Father bidden, His willing footsteps bend
To seek humiliation In deepest depths of woe,
To suffer degradation No mind can probe or know.
Strange how his journey ended! In love that is his fame
Our Lord again ascended A mount -- the hill of shame.
Upon the cross he proffered Himself to agony;
His holy soul he offered To set the guilty free.
Then hail the double glory Of Jesus Christ, our Lord,
And let the wondrous story Full peace and joy afford!
The holy mount acclaims him The majesty divine;
Mount Calvary proclaims him Redeemer -- yours and mine.
