('We have a gospel to proclaim')
Revelation 19 v.6-9
**********
John heard as it were voice of great
Multitude in a splendid state
A voice of many waters, sound
As mighty thunderings redound
They said, Alleluia, the Lord
God omnipotent reigns, His word
Is ever sure, let us glad be
Rejoice, honour Him, He worthy
For marriage of the Lamb* is come (*Christ)
The time now to take His Bride** home (**the church)
His wife, she has made self ready
To share in marriage gloriously
And to her it was granted, see
Raiment arrayed, fine linen be
Clean, white, and bright, how is it made?
How so compiled, wondrous displayed?
'Tis made up of the righteous deeds
Of the saints, they did help meet needs
Of poor or hungry, ill or weak
Their hearts set, the Lord's will to seek
John was to write, Blessed are they
Called to marriage supper that day
Supper of the Lamb, God's own Son
These true, God's sayings, shall be done
