Perpetual Presence

('O for a thousand tongues to sing')

Revelation 7 v,9-17

*******

Lo and behold, great multitude

A glorious sight viewed

A glorious sight viewed

Of all nations, kindreds, people

Languages, they praise all

Languages, they praise all

Languages, languages, they praise all

 

They stood before the throne and Lamb

God's throne, the great I AM

God's throne, the great I AM

Clothed with white robes, palms in their hands

Gathered out from all lands

Gathered out from all lands

Gathered, gathered out from all lands

 

They proclaim, loud voice, Salvation

Be due from each nation

Be due from each nation

To our God who sits on the throne

And Lamb who does atone

And Lamb who does atone

And Lamb, and Lamb who does atone

 

All angels stood around throne there

In worship they do share

In worship they do share

Elders twenty-four, creatures four

Join in for evermore

Join in for evermore

Join in, join in for evermore

 

All worship saying, Amen, so be

We give you glory free

W give you glory free

Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanks too

Be yours they are your due

Be yours, they are your due

Be yours, be yours, they are your due

 

And honour, power, and might too

Be given unto you you

Be given unto you

Our God for ever and ever

His reign does cease never

His reign does cease never

His reign, His reign does cease never

 

Those robed in white, they have come through

Troubles, suffered for you

Troubles suffered for you

Robes washed in the Lamb's blood, made white

Resplendent to the sight

Resplendent to the sight

Resplendent, resplendent to the sight

 

They those who serve God day and night

For ever, sweet delight

For ever, sweet delight

No more hunger or thirst they fear

God the Lord with them near

God the Lord with them near

God the Lord, God the Lord with them near

 

The Lamb, the Son of God, He will

Feed them, His presence still

Feed them, His presence still

E'er with them, to living waters

He leads, comfort confers

He leads, comfort confers

He leads, He leads, comfort confers

      was there or was there not a film called
      'the presence of the lambs'

      All joking aside, I kinda liked this and am sure it will appeal to shepherds.....

          And - nothing that is not marked 18+ which should be so marked, will enter in. Why will it not enter in? Cos Fido is the 'Watchdog of Heaven' ,or 'Hound of Heaven'. There's a book by that name. I've not read it fully, only snippets! Fido's master probably wrote it - me?!
