1. Is- ai- ah, might- y seer, in days of old The Lord of all in Spir- it did be- hold High on a loft- y throne, in splen- dor bright, With flow- ing train that filled the Tem- ple quite. A- bove the throne were state- ly ser- a- phim, Six wings had they, these mess- en- gers of Him. With twain they veiled their fa- ces, as was meet, With twain in rev- erent awe they hid their feet, And with the o- ther twain a- loft they soared, One to the o- ther called and praised the Lord: "Ho- ly is God, the Lord of Sa- ba- oth! Ho- ly is God, the Lord of Sa- ba- oth! Ho- ly is God, the Lord of Sa- ba- oth! Be- hold, His glo- ry fill- eth all the earth!" The beams and lin- tels trem- bled at the cry, And clouds of smoke en- wrapped the throne on high.
