Bright the vision that delighted by Richard Redhead — Lyrics
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:
‘Lord, thy glory fills the heaven;
earth is with its fulness stored;
unto thee be glory given,
holy, holy, holy, Lord.’

About Bright the vision that delighted
This hymn setting for SATB voices captures the awe-inspiring vision of divine glory described by the prophet. The text vividly portrays the celestial host of cherubim and seraphim surrounding God’s throne, their voices joined in a rapturous chorus of praise. It then broadens the scope to encompass the earthly church, uniting with the heavenly choirs in the eternal acclamation, “Holy, holy, holy, Lord.” Richard Redhead’s musical setting reflects the grandeur and reverence of the text, making it a powerful expression of adoration suitable for services of praise.
