BRIGHT THE VISION THAT DELIGHTED

[1]
Bright the vision that delighted
once the sight of Judah's seer;
sweet the countless tongues united
to entrance the prophet's ear.

[2]
Round the Lord in glory seated
cherubim and seraphim
filled his temple, and repeated
each to each the alternate hymn:

[3]
'Lord, your glory fills the heaven:
earth is with its fullness stored;
unto you be glory given,
holy, holy, holy Lord.'

[4]
Heaven is still with glory ringing,
earth takes up the angels' cry,
'Holy, holy, holy,' singing,
'Lord of hosts, the Lord most high.'

[5]
With his seraph train before him,
with his holy church below,
thus conspire we to adore him,
bid we thus our anthem flow:

[6]
'Lord, your glory fills the heaven;
earth is with its fullness stored;
unto you be glory given,
holy, holy, holy, Lord.'
