Tune: All Saints
('Who are these like stars appearing?')
Revelation 1 v.11-18 parts
**********
Jesus unto John revealéd
He the Lord, o'er all the head
Walking midst seven candlesticks
Shining bright with burning wicks
Christ in midst of His church walks
Guides His people, with them talks
See, He one like the Son of Man
None other compares, none can
Match this vision, He first and last
Knows all future, present, past
Clothed with garment, royal robe
Author of the New Encove* (*Covenant)
Golden chest-band, head and hairs white
Majestic unto our sight
White like wool, and too white as snow
Eyes as flame of fire, we know
And His feet as brass burnished
With beauty, glory furnished
Sound of many waters His voice
Let us worship Him, rejoice
In His right hand seven stars bright
He who is the world's true Light
Out of His mouth two-edged sword
Sharp it be, true His each word
His countenance as sun strong shines
Works all to His own designs
He the one that lives, was once dead
Now lives evermore, He said
Alpha and Omega I
First and last, no more I die

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7.7.7. metre. Also, the hymn in the clip remembering Saints, including St Bartholomew today (Aug 24). Not a lot is known of him. Some say his 'other name' was Nathanael.
