Canto dos Serafins

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy

Isaiah had a great vision
He saw the angels singing in Zion
Around their God they sang like this
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy is God
The seraphim sang

But the angels sang
Sang
Like this: Holy, holy is God
The seraphim sang
But the angels sang
Sang
Like this: Holy, holy is God
The seraphim sang

Isaiah was greatly afraid
And said
Woe is me, for I am undone, for I have seen the Lord
I am a man of unclean lips
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips
And my eyes have seen the Lord

But the angels sang
Sang
Like this: Holy, holy is God
The seraphim sang

An angel approached Isaiah
With tongs he touched his lips
He was purified and transformed by God
It was then that he heard a voice saying
Whom shall I send?
Who will go for us?
He said: Here I am, Lord
Send me
He said: Here I am, Lord
Send me

But the angels sang
Sang
Like this: Holy, holy is God
The seraphim sang

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
