Looking for suggestions for appropriate songs or hymns to sing on the holy day, Transfiguration.

At my church (Rusyn Orthodox and I would think the Byzantine Catholic Rusyn parishes as well) we sing the festal troparion repeatedly in Tone 7 (very melodic in prostopenije/Rusyn chant) at the censing, during the communion of the faithful... it is very appropriate: "You were transfigured on the mountain, O Christ God, / revealing Your glory to Your disciples as far as they could bear it. / Let Your everlasting Light also shine upon us sinners, / through the prayers of the Theotokos. / O Giver of Light, glory to You!" (That is the OCA translation, others are similar)

From the Christian West:

A "Common Meter" Hymn ("St. Anne" tune associated with "O God, our Help in Ages past would work). I do not know who wrote the text:

O raise your eyes on high and see
There stands our sovereign Lord,
His glory is this day revealed,
His Word a two-edged sword.

We glimpse the splendor and the power
Of him who conquered death,
The Christ in whom the universe
Knows God's creating breath.

Of every creed and nation King
In him all strife is stilled;
The promise made to Abraham
In him has been fulfilled.

The prophets stand and with great joy
Give witness as they gaze;
The Father with a sign has sealed
Our trust, our hope,our praise,

This glory that today our eyes
Have glimpsed of God's own Son
Will help us ever sing with Love
Of Three who are but One

Also one to "Short Meter":

"'Tis Good, Lord, to Be Here"
by Joseph A. Robinson, 1858-(?)

1. 'Tis good, Lord, to be here,
Thy glory fills the night;
Thy face and garments, like the sun,
Shine with unborrowed light.

2. 'Tis good, Lord, to be here,
Thy beauty to behold
Where Moses and Elijah stand,
Thy messengers of old.

3. Fulfiller of the past,
Promise of things to be,
We hail Thy body glorified
And our redemption see.

4. Before we taste of death,
We see Thy kingdom come;
We fain would hold the vision bright
And make this hill our home.

5. 'Tis good, Lord, to be here.
Yet we may not remain;
But since Thou bidst us leave the mount,
Come with us to the plain.

And of course this ecumenical classic:

"Beautiful Savior"
by Author Unknown, 1677
Translated by Joseph A. Seiss, 1823-1904

1. Beautiful Savior,
King of Creation,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Truly I'd love Thee,
Truly I'd serve Thee,
Light of my soul, my Joy, my Crown.

2. Fair are the meadows,
Fair are the woodlands,
Robed in flowers of blooming spring;
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer;
He makes our sorrowing spirit sing.

3. Fair is the sunshine,
Fair is the moonlight,
Bright the sparkling stars on high;
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer,
Than all the angels in the sky.

4. Beautiful Savior,
Lord of the nations,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor,
Praise, adoration,
Now and forevermore be Thine!

Just found this recent Hymn...metre is 8.7.8.7D (works with "Ode to Joy" but much better with Hyfrydol "Come Thou long-expected Jesus"/"Love Divine All Loves Excellening"):

Swiftly Pass the Clouds of Glory, Heaven's voice the dazzling light
Moses and Elijah vanish, Christ alone commands the height
Peter, James and John fall silent, Turning from the summit' rise
Downward toward the shadowed valley Where their Lord has fixed His eyes

Glimpsed and gone the revelation, They shall gain and keep its truth
Not by building on the mountain Any shrine or sacred booth
But by following the savior through the valley to the cross
And by testing faith's resilience Through betrayal, pain and loss

Lord Transfigure our perception With the purest light that shines
And recast our life's intentions To the shape of your designs
Till we seek no other glory Than what lies past Calv'ry's Hill
And out living and our dying and out rising by Your will
