168 | Isaiah 6:1-3 | 8 7. 8 7. D | |
BRIGHT the vision that delighted Once the sight of Judah’s seer; Sweet the countless tongues united To entrance the prophet’s ear: ‘Lord, Thy glory fills the Heaven; Earth is with its fulness stored; Unto Thee be glory given, Holy, holy, holy Lord!’ |
|||
2 | Round the Lord in glory seated Cherubim and seraphim Filled His temple, and repeated Each to each the alternate hymn: |
||
3 | Heaven is still with glory ringing, Saints take up the angels’ cry, ‘Holy, holy, holy,’ singing, ‘Lord of hosts, Thou Lord most high’: |
||
4 | With His seraph-train before Him, With His ransomed church below, Thus unite we to adore Him, Bid we now our praises flow: |
