As we all with open face,
Beholding as in a glass,
The glory of the Lord,
Are changed into the same image,
From glory to glory even as by,
The Spirit of the Lord.
Take away the veil of the flesh.
See the church with eyes of the Lord;
See the glory of the Lord.
Be transfigured to His image,
From glory to glory even as by,
the Spirit of the Lord
As we discern His Body, His Temple,
Each part set in their right place.
Though hidden from the world,
His glory's revealed,
From glory to glory as we begin,
To behold more and more of His face.
Yield to His Spirit, from faith unto faith,
'Til His pattern is the only one.
The flesh shall all vanish,
In the light of His glory,
from glory to glory, transfigured by,
The Spirit of the son.
