TRANSFIGURATION OF OUR LORD
(from Great Vespers)
Before Your Crucifixion, O Lord, the mountain became as heaven and
like a tabernacle the cloud spread itself out, when You were transfigured, and
the Father bore witness to You. Peter was present with James and John,
since they were to be with You at the time of Your betrayal, that having seen
Your wondrous works they might not be afraid of Your sufferings. Grant us to
venerate Your sufferings in peace, through Your mercy!
Prefiguring Your Resurrection, O Christ our God, You took with You
in Your ascent of Mount Tabor Your three Disciples, Peter, James and John.
When You were transfigured, O Savior, Mount Tabor was covered with light.
Your Disciples, O Word, threw themselves down upon the ground unable to
gaze upon the form that none may see. The Angels ministered in fear and
trembling; the heavens shook and the earth quaked as they beheld on earth
the Lord of Glory.
Moses, who saw God, and Elijah who rode the fiery chariot across the
heavens unconsumed, beheld You in the cloud at Your Transfiguration on
Mount Tabor, O Christ. They testified that You are the Maker and fulfillment
of the Law and the Prophets. With them, O Master, count us also worthy of
Your light, that we may sing Your praises unto all ages!
