Revelation 7 v.9-17

Fro All Saints Day - Nov. 1st

**************

John did behold, and, lo, great multitude

Which no man could number, these be sure viewed

All nations, peoples, kindreds, praise renewed

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

They stood before the Lamb, and too the throne

Clothed in white robes, Jesus as Lord they own

With palms in hands, they worship Him alone

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

They cried with loud voice, saying, Salvation

To our God, He atones for each nation

Sits on the throne, the Lamb He be His Son

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

All angels worshipped, and all gathered there

In endless jubilation they do share

With saints redeemed ones, e\'er under His care

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

They said, Amen, Blessing, wisdom, glroy

Thanksgiving, honour, power and might be

To our God ever, through eternity

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

One there said to John, These be they which, see

Come forth from great tribulation, now free

Their robes washed in the Lamb\'s blood, white now be* 

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

Therefore they before God\'s throne day and night

Serving Him in His temple, in His sight

he dwells among them, here endless delight

Alleluia, Alleluia!

 

They hunger nor thirst any more, for so

The Lamb shall feed them lead to fountains flow

Of waters, every tear gone, glory\'s glow

Alleluia, Alleluia!
