English text
- I saw the Lord, sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up,
- and his train filled the temple.
- Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings;
- with twain he covered his face,
- and with twain he covered his feet,
- and with twain he did fly.
- And one cried unto another,
- Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts:
- the whole earth is full of his glory.
- And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried,
- and the house was filled with smoke.
- O Trinity! O Unity!
- Be present as we worship Thee,
- And with the songs that angels sing
- Unite the hymns of praise we bring.
- Amen.
