Original text and translations
English text 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.
