Jesus, Son of God and Mary,
Climbed a hill in Galilee.
There he taught his twelve disciples
With a fresh authority.
'Happy those who have a pure heart,
God my Father they shall see.'
Jesus, Word of God incarnate,
Climbed a mountain with the three.
As they saw the Lord transfigured
God revealed a mystery:
'See my Son, my dearly loved one,
Listen to him faithfully.'
Jesus, Lamb of God who suffered,
Climbed the hill that awesome day,
There he bore our shame and sorrow,
Slain to take our sin away;
'O forgive them, my dear Father!'
Words that he alone could say.
Jesus, risen King of glory,
Climbed the mountain to ascend
To his throne, in highest heaven,
Whence the Spirit would descend.
Alleluia! 'I am with you!
Now, and till all time shall end!'

Genial post and this mail helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you for your information.
Not sure about those rhymes in first verse! Tune? Listen to The Choir at 6.30 p.m. on radio 3 tonight - it's about the RSCM!
The suggested tune is St Audrey by Basil Harwood. By the way, Bishop Edward Darling is due to receive his ARSCM in Durham Cathedral this coming May.
