Author: Richard Mant, 1776-1848 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #343 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 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, thy glory fills the heaven;
Earth is with its fullness stored;
Unto thee 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 unite we to adore him,
Bid we thus our anthem flow:
6 'Lord, thy glory fills the heaven;
Earth is with its fullness stored;
Unto thee be glory given,
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord.' Topics: Trinity Sunday; Michaelmas Languages: English Tune Title: REDHEAD NO. 46
