Tune: Sine Nomine
('For all the saints')
Revelation 11 v.15-19
For All Saints Day - Nov 1.
*********
The seventh [and final] angel did his trumpet blow
Great voices in heaven did say, This know
The Lord Almighty reigns o'er all, 'tis so
Alleluia, Alleluia!
The kingdoms of this world, they are become
The kingdoms of our Lord, all, not just some
Our Lord and His Christ, they now e'er his home
Alleluia, Alleluia!
The twenty four elders around God's throne
Rose from their seats, and worshipped Him alone
Sasing, We praise, all kingdoms are your own
Alleluia, Alleluia!
You Lord God Almighty, which are, and were
And are to come, none can this stop, deter
You take your great power, reign, we concur
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Though nations angry, for you judge rightly
Wrath to the sinful, evil, there shall be
But reward to saints for eternity
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Whether small or great, saints who have believed
have salvation form Jesus sure received
They shall share in God's glory thus perceived
Alleluia, Alleluia!
But He shall destroy them which do destroy
The earth, defile, deface, with evil ploy
Though His servants shall share His lasting joy
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Temple of God opened in heaven, seen
Ark of His covenant there espied keen
Tumultuous sights, they have rarely been
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Lightnings and voices, mighty thunderings
Throughout the skies their awesomeness sounding
Earthquake and great hail this even too brings
Alleluia, Alleluia!

Sometimes its easy to forget the saints future and the saints present, for painfully obvious reasons. So we stick to saints past and dead!
Thanks Saint CB! All Christian believers are saints really - from being 'sanctified', or 'saint-ified' - being made holy, set apart from sins unto God. Of course, it's onging, and the saying 'Be patient with me; God hasn't finished with me yet'.
Lowercase “s” will suffice, for it is a technicality with a lot of opinions and controversy attached, wheat and tares being the least of them.
I don't see you as a tare - or weed. We might say 'Who you calling a weed?!' lol. it never says, e.g. Saint Paul in the Bible. You'll start me singing the harvest hymn - 'Wheat and tares therein are sown / Unto joy or sorrow grown'.
Perhaps corn flakes, then! Cereal. Cereal it's so easy to see.
It's them wheat and tares looking alike that is the problem. In the parable, the tares are spared their uprooting until harvest, because the good wheat might be uprooted at the same time. Oohh, I can't have bran flakes. Gives me the runs!
Bran makes me break out in hives!
God one Orchi.
Thanks Gold. A god one yes. I made the same typo (or on purpose?) on a comment!
