O God, who on the holy mount revealed to chosen witnesses your well-beloved Son, wonderfully transfigured, in raiment white and glistening: Mercifully grant that we, being delivered from the disquietude of this world, may by faith behold the king in his beauty: who with you, O Father, and you, O Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
