Bright the Vision
1 Bright the vision that delighted
Once the sight of Judah's seer;
Sweet the countless tongues united
To entrance the prophet's ear.
Round the Lord in glory seated,
Cherubim and seraphim
Filled his temple and repeated
Each to each the alternate hymn:
Ch: 'Lord, your glory fills the heaven,
Earth is with its fulness stored;
To your name be glory given:
Holy, holy, holy Lord!'
2 Heaven is still with glory ringing,
earth takes up the angels' cry:
'Holy, holy, holy singing,
'Lord of hosts, the Lord most high!'
With his seraphim before him,
With his holy church below,
Now united, we adore him;
Let our glorious anthem flow:
(repeat chorus)
Words slightly adapted from the original hymn by R Mant (1776-1848)
