Text. St. Luke 9. 33
et factum est cum discederent ab illo ait Petrus ad Iesum praeceptor bonum est nos hic esse
et faciamus tria tabernacula unum tibi et unum Mosi et unum Heliae nesciens quid diceret
And St. Peter, when he thus said
He knew not what
Was in the mount with Jesus
Moses and Elias
And saw their glory.
One cannot blame his crying out
‘It is good to be here’
Words that would sound nothing amiss
On our late being
With Christ at the Holy Table.
It is good for us to be here
In thy holy presence.
Let us build tabernacles,
Tarry here, nor go
In affection to earth.
But somewhat was wrong in Peter’s words
As there is commonly
In the most of our best words
If God should enter
Into judgment with them.
