Tis good, Lord, to be here Lyrics

'Tis Good, Lord, to Be Here
Johann M. Speiss

Text Author: Joseph A. Robinson
Arranger: Paul J. Monachino



Verse 1
'Tis good, Lord, to be here!
Your glory fills the night;
Your face and garments, like the sun,
Shine with unborrowed light.

Verse 2
'Tis good, Lord, to be here,
Your beauty to behold,
Where Moses and Elijah stand,
Your messengers of old.

Verse 3
Fulfiller of the past!
Promise of things to be!
We hail your body glorified,
And our redemption see.

Verse 4
Before we taste of death,
We see your kingdom come;
We long to hold the vision bright,
And make this hill our home.

Verse 5
'Tis good, Lord, to be here!
Yet we may not remain;
But since you bid us leave the mount,
Come with us to the plain.
