Lyrics
And after six days He taketh Peter, James and John up into a high mountain apart. And was transfigured before them, And His face did shine as the sun And His raiment was white as the light. And behold a
voice out of the cloud which said, And behold a voice out of the cloud which said, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye Him. When from the lips of Truth one mighty breath Shall, like a
whirlwind, scatter in its breeze The whole dark pile of human mockeries; When from the lips of Truth one mighty breath Shall, like a whirlwind scatter in its breeze The whole dark pile of human mockeries;
The whole dark pile of human mockeries; Then shall the reign of Mind commence on earth, And starting fresh as from a second birth, Man in the sunshine of the world’s new spring, Shall walk transparent,
like some holy thing. Man in the sunshine of the world’s new spring, Shall walk transparent like some holy thing.
