Revelation - Vials Five And Six

Tune: Leibster Jesu

('Dearest Jesu, we are here')

Revelation 16 v.10-16

***********

Fifth angel his vial did pour

Upon seat of beast, judgement sore

Beast's kingdom full of darkness

People gnawed tongues in pain's distress

Blasphemed God because of their pains

Not repenting, no comfort gains

 

Sixth angel his vial did pour

On river Euphrates and shore

Water dried up, that the way

For kings of east to come that day

Three unclean spirits like frogs did

Appear then, for they were not hid

 

Came from mouth of the dragon

And beast and false prophet, each one

They the spirit of devils

Working miracles, great evils

They went forth to kings of he earth

To gather to battle and dearth

 

The battle of the great day

Of God Almighty, we now say

He said, Behold, come I do

Watch and be ready here anew

Clothed in garments spiritual, so

His providings His people know

 

Kings and armies gathered to

A place called in Hebrew, ehre view

Armageddon, battle-place

Mount Megiddo, we did it trace

Another judgement unconcealed

In God's plan each one is revealed

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.8.7.8.8.8 metre. I am unsure of the meaning of all the meanings of the symbolisms in this, and in some other passages in Revelation.
