Sfânt Eşti, Sfânt Eşti! Doamne

Representative Text

1 Sfânt eşti, sfânt eşti! Doamne
Dumnezeu puternic!
Grabnic in dimineaţ asta
Noi te proslăvim.
Sfânt eşti, sfânt eşti, sfânt eşti!
Şi foarte milostiv!
Doamne Iehova,
Tată, Fiu, Duh Sfânt.

2 Sfânt eşti, sfânt eşti, sfânt eşti!
Toţi sfinţii ţi se’nchin!
’Naintea T pun coroana de invingere.
Cântânduţi se proştern Cheruvimi, Serafimi,
Cel ce ai fost, eşti,
Şi vei fi in veci.

3 Sfânt eşti, sfânt eşti, sfânt eşti!
Deşi nor teascunde,
Ochiul celui păcătos nuti
Vede măriea.
Numai singur sfânt eşti,
Singur Tu eşti perfect,
A Tai puterea,
Tu eşti iubirea.

4 Sfânt eşti, sfânt eşti, sfânt eşti!
Domn atotputernic!
Lucrările Tale slăvesc
Numele Tău sfânt;
Sfânt eşti, sfânt eşti, sfânt eşti!
Milostiv puternic!
Domne Iehova,
Tată, Fiu, Duh Sfânt.

Reginald Heber was born in 1783 into a wealthy, educated family. He was a bright youth, translating a Latin classic into English verse by the time he was seven, entering Oxford at 17, and winning two awards for his poetry during his time there. After his graduation he became rector of his father's church in the village of Hodnet near Shrewsbury in the west of England where he remained for 16 years. He was appointed Bishop of Calcutta in 1823 and worked tirelessly for three years until the weather and travel took its toll on his health and he died of a stroke.
