FEASTS OF MARTXRS

On Tabor, with the glory Of sunniest light for vest,

The excellence of beauty In JEsuUs was expressed.

AIl light ereated paled there, And did Him eei meebt; The sun itself adored Him, And bowed before His feet; Wnile Moses and Plias, Upon the Holy Mount, The co-eternal glory Of CRHRRIST our GOD recount.

O holy, wondrous vision! But what when, this life past, The beauty of Mount Tabor Shall end in heaven at last? But what when all the glory Of uncreated light Shall be the promised guerdon Of them that win the fight? Amoen.

*e Lord, it is good for us to be here."

THE TEANSFIGURATION OF OUR LORD.

0 Lo With Moses and Elias see That light from Light's own Fount;

For ever with the chosen three Would stand upon that height, And in that plesséèd company Be plunged in pure delight.

For ever would we train the ear To that celestial Voice;

In Thee, the SoN of GOD, so near, For evermore rejoice.

Here would we pitch our constant tent, For ever here abide;

And dwell in peace and full content, Dear Master, at Thy side.

But no! not yet to man'tis given To rest upon that height;

Tis but a passing glimpse of heaven; We must descend and fight.

Beneath the Mount is toil and pain; O CHRIST, Thy strength impart; Tin we, transfigured too, shall reign For ever where Thou art. Amen. (282])
