Ash Wednesday to Pentecost
Transfigured Man
- Transfigured man whose shining face
Proclaims Your Godliness on earth,
Sustain us, caught between Your birth
And Your redeeming sacrifice. - As we embark upon the trial
Of forty days of penitence,
May we recall your radiance
As we go faltering to our goal. - May we more fully turn in Lent
Calmly to meet our neighbours' needs,
Giving up platitudes for deeds,
Confronting what we most resent. - And when our best is truly given,
Our trial lessened through Your Grace,
May we be fit to see Your face
Dimly on earth, fully in heaven.
