Sanctification

Previous
The sixfold wingÈd angels cry
To Him, Who hates iniquity:
Holy art Thou, O Lord!
Holy art Thou!
The mighty ones of earth do call
To Him, Who has created all:
Blessed art Thou, O Lord!
Blessed art Thou!
They, who in radiance shine, proclaim
Of Him, Who wrought them out of flame:
Holy art Thou, O Lord!
Holy art Thou!
Those doubly tried by flood and fire
United chant in frequent choir:
Blessed art Thou, O Lord!
Holy and blest!
Pure spheres celestial echoing round,
With voice of sweetest song resound:
Holy art Thou, O Lord!
Holy art Thou!
[pg 381]
All those redeemÈd not by gold,
Repeat in faith and joy untold:
Blessed art Thou, O Lord!
Blessed art Thou!
They who pass swiftly to and fro
Make answer, as they come and go:
Holy art Thou, O Lord!
Holy art Thou!
Who seek His law, and testify
That there is none beside Him, cry:
Blessed art Thou, O Lord!
Holy and blest!
The hosts of radiant seraphs call
To Him, most glorious of them all:
Holy art Thou, O Lord!
Holy art Thou!
The sons of mighty men declare
His majesty beyond compare:
Blessed art Thou, O Lord!
Blessed art Thou!
All they who glorify His name,
With every morn anew proclaim:
Holy art Thou, O Lord!
Holy art Thou!
Israel, His people, ceaselessly
Cry as they bend and bow the knee:
Blessed art Thou, O Lord!
Holy and blest.
Those shining as a crystal spring,
Chant in the presence of their King:
Holy art Thou, O Lord!
Holy art Thou!
The stranger's children evermore
The mighty Lord of lords adore.
Blessed art Thou, O Lord!
Blessed art Thou!
[pg 382]
Those who of fire are fashioned, crowd
On crowd unnumbered, chant aloud:
Joseph Ibn Abitur.
