In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and
exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphs,
each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they
covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to
one another, saying,
C: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his
glory.”
L: 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the
temple was filled with smoke, I cried,
C: 5 “Woe to me! I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live
among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the
LORD Almighty.”
L: 6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had
taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said,
“See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned
for.” 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And
who will go for us?” And I said,
C: “Here am I. Send me!”
