LyicsWhen on Sinai's top I see
God descend in majesty,
To proclaim his holy law,
All my spirits sink with awe.
When in ecstasy sublime
Tabor's glorious height I climb,
In 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 forever stay,
Weep, and gaze my soul away:
Thou art heaven on earth to me,
Lovely, mournful Calvary.
