Transfiguration Troparion from Jesus Prayer by Calvin Peters
This song is sung on the Feast of the Transfiguration which commemorates when Jesus Christ was Transfigured on Mt Tabor. It is commemorated on August 6 in the Orthodox church even though this event in the life of Christ has been described as the bridge between Jesus’ public ministry and his passion, nonetheless, it is not celebrated chronologically in the life of Christ as are some other feasts. If this were the case, it would be celebrated before Palm Sunday, the crucifixion and the resurrection.

Lyrics
Thou was transfigured on the mountain, O Christ God,
Revealing Thy glory to Thy disciples as far as they could bear it.
Let Thine everlasting light also shine upon us sinners,
Through the prayers of the Theotokos.
O giver of light, glory to Thee.
