Trumpet Triumph

Tune: Unter Herrscher - Neander

('Come ye faithful, raise the anthem')

Revelation 11 v.15-19

***********

Seventh angel's trumpet does sound

Great voices in heaven redound

Saying, The kingdoms of this world

Have become, it is unfurled

Become the kingdoms of our Lord

'Tis true to His every word

 

Kingdoms of our Lord, and too be

Kingdoms of His Christ, here see

And He shall so reign fo ever

Loses omnipotence ne'er

Four and twenty elders round throne

Fall down, worship God alone

 

Saying, We give you thanks, O Lord

God Almighty, living Word

Who is, and were, and are to come

Lord over all, not just some

You have taken to you your great

Power, have reigned, no abate

 

Nations were angry, your wrath now

Shall be demonstrated, how 

You will it show, and time of dead

To be judged, you living head

Shall reward servants, prophets, saints

They know no more of sin's taints

 

Reward too, those that fear your name

It Almighty, e'er the same

Small and great comforted, but they

Who destroyed the earth, their day

Has come and they shall destroyed be

By your judgements, we agree

 

Temple of God in heaven open

Was seen in His temple then

The ark* of His testament there

Awesome sights to behold, share

Lightnings, voices, thunders, earthquakes

Great hail, wondrous vision makes

--------

* Ark - not a boat, but a box, in which were put the two

stone tablets with the Ten Commandments written on them,

given to Moses by God.
