God,
who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made
his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. (2
Corinthians 4:6, NIV)
Hymn:
Image of the Unseen God 
Jesus
took with him Peter, James, and John the brother of James,
and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was
transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and
his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there
appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
Peter
said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here.
If you wish, I will put up three shelters‒one for you,
one for Moses and one for Elijah."
While
he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and
a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom
I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"
When
the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground,
terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up,"
he said. "Don't be afraid." When they looked up,
they saw no one except Jesus. (Matthew 17:1-8, NIV)
