German:
Jesaia, dem Propheten, das geschah,
Daß er im Geist den Herren sitzen sah
Auf einem hohen Thron in hellem Glanz,
Seines Kleides Saum den Chor füllet’ ganz.
Es stunden zween Seraph bei ihm daran,
Sechs Flügel sah er einen jeden ha’n:
Mit zween verborgen sie ihr Antlitz klar,
Mit zween bedeckten sie die Füße gar,
Und mit den andern zween sie flogen frei.
Genander ruften sie mit großem G’schrei:
Heilig ist Gott, der Herre Zebaoth!
Sein’ Ehr’ die ganze Welt erfüllet hat.
Von dem G’schrei zittert’ Schwell’ und Balken gar,
Das Haus auch ganz voll Rauchs und Nebels war.
--Music and text by Martin Luther, 1526
English:
Isaiah in a vision did of old,
The Lord of hosts enthroned on high behold:
His splendid train was wide out-spread until
Its streaming glory did the temple fill.
Above his throne the shining seraphim
With six-fold wings did rev’rence unto him:
With two each seraph hid his glorious face,
And two about his feet did interlace,
And with the other two he soared on high;
And one unto another thus did cry:
Holy is God, the Lord of Sabaoth!
Behold, His glory filleth all the earth!
The beams and lintels trembled at the cry,
And clouds of smoke enwrapped the throne on high.
