Isaiah vi, vv. 1-4

1

'Twas in the year that King Uzziah died,

A vision by Isaiah was espied;

A lofty throne, the Lord was set thereon;

And with his glory all the temple shone.

2

Bright seraphim were standing round about

Six wings had every of that quire devout;

With twain he awesome veiled his face, and so

With twain he dreadful veiled his feet below.

3

With twain did he now hither, thither fly:

And thus aloud did one to other cry:

Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth,

Full of his glory are earth and heaven, both.

4

And at their cry the lintels moved apace,

And clouds of incense filled the holy place.
