When on Sinai’s top I see
God descend in majesty,
To proclaim his holy law,
All my spirit sinks with awe.
When, in ecstasy sublime,
Tabor’s glorious steep I climb,
At the too-transporting light,
Darkness rushes o’er my sight.
When on Calvary I rest,
God, in flesh made manifest,
Shines in my Redeemer’s face,
Full of beauty, truth, and grace.
Here I would for ever stay,
Weep and gaze my soul away;
Thou art heaven on earth to me,
Lovely, mournful Calvary.
