Revelation Chapter 16 part
********
1. A great voice from the Temple
God did His angels call
To pour out vials of wrath sure
His judgements right and pure
Chorus
Seven angels mission
Obeying the holy one
Father, Spirit, and Son
2. First vial upon the earth poured
Caused noisome, grievous sore
On those who had mark of beast
Worshippers, great and least - Chorus
3. Second angel poured on sea
Sea became as blood, see
As the blood of a dead man
All died, none lived, could, can - Chorus
4. Third angel reached the rivers
Fountains, floods, and waters
They too turned into blood red
Undrinkable, quite dead - Chorus
5. Fourth angel turned to the sun
It burnt, scorched every one
But they changed not, no repent
Blasphemed Him, no relent - Chorus
6. Fifth angel to beast\'s seat sent
To beast\'s kingdom he went
Kingdom then turned to darkness
Pain, torment, godlessness - Chorus
7. Sixth angel to Euphrates
Great river, dried, for this
To prepare God\'s great battle
His battle called, final - Chorus
8. Seventh angel poured in air
Hearken, great voice from there
Saying, \'It is done\', so be
Awesome sights now to see - Chorus
9. Voices, thunders and lightnings
Great earthquake \'midst all things
Babylon, city evil
Drinks God\'s fierce wrath, does fall - Chorus
