Tune: Unter Herrschen
(\'Come ye faithful, raise the anthem\')
Revelation 6 v.1-8
***********
John did see when the Lamb* opened (*Christ)
The seals**, to Christ did attend (**the seven seals of a scroll)
And did hear the noise of thunder
One of the four beasts then there
Said, Come and see, and I did see
A white horse in majesty
He that sat on him had a bow
A crown given him, I know
And he went forth in conquering
And to conquer, victory bring
Then the second seal opened there
Second beast said, Come, see, share
There went out another horse, red
Power given rider, said
That he may from the earth peace take
Kill each other, turmoil make
There was given him a great sword
He rules as an overlord
And when opened wa the third seal
Third beast said, Come and see, feel
I did see a black horse, and he
Sat on him did have scales, see
I heard voice say, measure of wheat
For a penny, a day\'s feat# (# a day\'s work)
And three measures of barley for
The same, a penny for sure
And see you not hurt oil and wine
Protect you these gifts of mine
Then fourth seal was opened, and then
Fourth beast said, Come, see again
And I looked, and saw a pale horse
He proceeded on his course
His name that sat on him was Death
Hell followed him, poison breath
Power given him to destroy
Fourth part of the earth, no joy
