Edition notes: The parts from the beginning of bar 89, page 10, are SATB soli although they are not marked as such in this edition. The parts which enter at bar 134, page 14 (staves 5-8), are the rest of the choir, tutti, whilst the solo voices continue to sing the first four staves of music. Part way through bar 159 the parts revert to the original designation - staves 1-4 are Choir 1 and 5-8 are Choir 2.

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.

Isaiah 6:1-4
