choirs of ransomed Israel,<p>The Red Sea's passage o'er,<p>Uprais'd the hymn of triumph<p>Upon the further shore:<p>And shouted, as the foeman<p>Was whelmed beneath the sea, -- <p>Sing we to Judah's Saviour,<p>For glorified is He!'<p><p>Amongst His Twelve Apostles<p>CHRIST spake the Words of Life,<p>And showed a realm of beauty<p>Beyond a world of strife:<p>When all My FATHER's glory<p>Shall shine expressed in Me,<p>Then praise Him, then exalt Him,<p>For magnified is He!'<p><p>Upon the Mount of Tabor<p>The promise was made good;<p>When, baring all the Godhead,<p>In light itself He

inclined there,<p>And did Thee worship meet,<p>The sun himself adored Thee,<p>And bowed him at Thy feet:<p>While Moses and Elias,<p>Upon the Holy Mount,<p>The co-eternal glory<p>Of CHRIST our GOD recount.<p><p>O holy, wonderous Vision!<p>But what, when this life past,<p>The beauty of Mount Tabor<p>Shall end in Heav'n at last?<p>But what, when all the glory<p>Of uncreated light<p>Shall be the
