Resplendent Reigning

orchidee



Tune: Regent Square

('Light's abode, celestial Salem')

Revelation 11 v.15-19

********

Seventh angel trumpet sounded

Great voices in heaven said

'Kingdoms of the world are become

[The] Kingdoms of our Lord, [and] His Son

His Christ, the Messiah promised'

Event shall by none be missed

 

'And He shall reign e'en for ever

His mighty reign cease never'

Then twenty four elders round throne

Fall down, worship God alone

Saying, 'We give you thanks, O Lord

God Almighty, living Word'

 

'You who are, and were, and will be

Have taken your power, see

Your great power, and do reign now'

Though nations may question how

For 'tis of your omnipotence

Man can reason and can sense [this]

 

The nations were moved to anger

And your time of wrath does stir

Time of the dead, that they be judged

Yet rewards, be encouraged

For your servants, saints, and prophets

Who do love you, no regrets

 

And reward too unto great, small

They who fear your name, them all

But destruction unto they who

Destroy the earth, despite do

Thus revealéd your just judgement

And blessings to penitent

 

God's temple in heaven opened

Seen then as the skies did rend

There seen in His temple the ark

Of His covenant, and hark

Thunderings, voices, and lightnings

Earthquake, great hail, awesome things

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 878787 metre. Hope I've captured the resplendence with the wording and the tune. The hymn in the clip is very eloquent. Get your trumpets and tubas out - a Sally Army-type tune!

        No I actually play the trumpet, Joyce and I used to be in a swing band where she played clarinet and sang and I played trumpet.

              “For 'tis of your omnipotence

              Man can reason and can sense [this]” yes - like a radar blip image for a far-away horizon yet to be seen by our very own two eyes. We ‘instinctively’ know there’s something greater out there that, once and for all, truly satisfies. Thanks for writing this line and this poem.

                Thanks Gary. Erm, will we sense His omnipotence, when we know what the word means? Long word there! lol.
