Hymn of the Day: ACS Hymn 917, Dazzling Presence on the Mountain, WAVERLY

Over the past Sundays, we have seen Jesus show himself to be Christ, the one anointed by God to be our Savior. This Sunday, the Transfiguration, when Jesus appears on a mountain in divine glory, concludes the time after Epiphany. In three days, on Ash Wednesday, we begin the climb to the mountain of Jesus’ crucifixion. The church holds side-by-side the brilliance of God and the cross of Jesus.
