O Wondrous Type, O Vision Fair
Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnbook #182 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Vision Lyrics: 1 O wondrous type, O vision fair
Of glory that the Church shall share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows
When brighter than the sun He glows.

Christ deigns to manifest today
What glory shall be theirs above
Who joy in God with perfect love.
3 And faithful hearts are raised on high
By this great vision's mystery;
For which in joyful strains we raise
The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.

And Holy Spirit, ever One,
Vouchsafe to bring us by Thy grace
To see Thy glory face to face.

O Wondrous Sight, O Vision Fair
Author: J. Neale Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #256 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Vision Lyrics:
1 O wondrous sight, O vision fair
of glory that the church shall share,
which Christ upon the mountain shows,
where brighter than the sun he glows!
2 From age to age the tale declares
how with the three disciples there,
where Moses and Elijah meet,
the Lord holds converse high and sweet.
3 The law and prophets there have place,
two chosen witnesses of grace;
the Father’s voice from out the cloud
proclaims his only Son aloud.
4 With shining face and bright array
Christ deigns to manifest today
what glory shall be theirs above
who joy in God with perfect love.
5 And faithful hearts are raised on high
by this great vision’s mystery,
for which in joyful strains we raise
the voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.

What was your vow and vision
Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #182 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Vision / Dream Lyrics: 1 What was your vow and vision,
revealed and recognized,
Christ, when you came to Jordan
and asked to be baptized?
Was there a sudden splendour
of prophets, priests and kings,
a wind that stirred the waters,
a blur of mighty wings?
2 Was this God's call, the crowning
of all you had become:
"Go, show and tell my coming,
my own, my chosen one?"
Did scripture join with scripture,
revealing in surprise
the triumph of a servant
rejected and despised?
3 We meet you at the water
and ponder why and how,
in hope that we may follow
where God is going now,
anointed with your Spirit,
reborn, and energized,
through deed and word proclaiming:
"In Christ we are baptized!" Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17 Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVAN 130

Bright the Vision That Delighted
Author: Richard Mant Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #612 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Vision First Line: Bright the vision that delighted Lyrics: 1 Bright the vision that delighted
once the sight of Judah’s seer,
sweet the countless tongues united
to entrance the prophet’s ear.
2 Round the Lord in glory seated
cherubim and seraphim
filled His temple and repeated
each to each th'alternate hymn:
3 “Lord, thy glory fills the heaven,
earth is with its fullness stored;
unto thee be glory given,
Holy, holy, holy Lord!”
4 Heav'n is still with glory ringing,
earth takes up the angels’ cry,
“Holy, holy, holy,” singing,
“Lord of hosts, the Lord most high.”
5 With his seraph train before him,
with his holy church below,
thus conspire we to adore him,
bid we thus our anthem flow:
6 “Lord, thy glory fills the heaven;
earth is with its fullness stored;
unto thee be glory given,
Holy, holy, holy Lord.”

Ezekiel's Vision of the dry Bones
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCLXXI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Vision of the dry bones First Line: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye Lyrics: 1 Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
See Adam's race in ruin lie;
Sin spreads its trophies o'er the ground,
And scatters slaughter'd heaps around.
2 And can these mouldering corpses live?
And can these perish'd bones revive.
That mighty God, to thee is known;
That wondrous work is all thy own.
3 Thy ministers are sent in vain
To prophesy upon the slain;
In vain they call, in vain they cry,
'Till thine almighty aid is nigh.
4 But if thy spirit deign to breathe,
Life spreads thro' all the realms of death:
Dry bones obey thy powerful voice;
They move, they waken, they rejoice,
5 So when thy trumpet's awful sound
Shall shake the Heav'ns and rend the ground
Dead saints shall from their tombs arise,
And spring to life beyond the skies.

The vision of faith
He climbed the mountain; and behold
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #49 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Pisgah-vision Lyrics:
He climb'd the mountain; and behold!
The land before him lay;
Here Jordan's bounding waters roll'd,
There Carmel stretch'd away.
From northern Lebanon, outspread,
To Araby the wild,
Where strangers' lives the Patriarchs led,
Their promised Canaan smiled:
A land of fountains and of rills,
Pure milk and honey flow'd;
Whose stones were iron; from whose hills
Brass in the furnace glow'd:
53
A land of corn, and wine, and oil,
Whose trees with fruitage hung,
While birds, to soothe the labourers' toil,
Amid the branches sung.
Valleys stood thick with golden grain,
Goats bounded on the rocks,
And white and dark, on slope and plain,
Roam'd pasturing herds and flocks.
But all the soil with blood was stain'd,
Revenge and rapine strove;
Pagan abominations reign'd
In every haunted grove.
From cities populous and proud
The shrieks of children came,
Where drums and cymbals led the crowd,
Round Moloch's altar-flame.
The Vision changed;--then Moses saw
The Idols overthrown,
God out of Zion giving law,
God worship'd there alone.
And still the vision grew more bright;
On humble Bethlehem shined
The star of Jacob, and a light
To lighten all mankind,
In silent trance the prophet gazed:
"It is enough," he cried;
His hands with holy rapture raised,
Saw the Lord's Christ, and died.
His spirit return'd to God who gave:
His body, nowhere found,
54
Shall keep the secret of its grave
Till the last trumpet sound.

Christ, you call us all to service
Author: Joy F. Patterson, 1931- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #585 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Vision / Dream Lyrics: 1 Christ, you call us all to service,
call us all who follow you;
plant in us a deep commitment
all your work and will to do.
Fire a passion for your justice,
in us kindle love of peace;
help us heal the broken-hearted;
to the captive bring release.
2 Teach us how to work together,
brother, sister, side by side,
equal partners in the struggle,
in the cause of truth allied.
To each one some gift is given–
man or woman, young or old;
help us use each skill and talent,
your great purpose to unfold.
3 Let us be a servant people,
reconciling, ending strife,
seeking ways more just of sharing
and of ordering human life.
Fill us with a glowing vision
of this world as it should be;
send us forth to change that vision
into blest reality. Scripture: Luke 4:18-19 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE

O God, You Gave Your Servant John
Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Voices United #718 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Vision/Dream Lyrics: 1 O Lord, you gave your servant John
a vision of the world to come:
a radiant city filled with light,
where you with us will make your home;
where neither grief nor pain shall dwell,
since former things have passed away,
and where they need no sun nor moon;
your glory lights eternal day.
2 Our cities wear great shrouds of pain;
beneath our gleaming towers of wealth
the homeless crouch in rain and snow,
the poor cry out for strength and health.
Youth’s hope is dimmed by ignorance;
unwilling, workers idled stand;
indifference walks unheeding by
as hunger stretches out its hand.
3 Come, Lord, make real John’s vision fair;
come, dwell with us, make all things new;
we try in vain to save our world
unless our help shall come from you.
Come, strengthen us to live in love;
bid hatred, greed, injustice cease.
Your glory all the light we need,
let all our cities shine forth peace. Tune Title: CANDLER
