“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”(B)

Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. The seraph[b] touched my mouth with it and said, “Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out.”(D)
