Holy Trinity

Tune: Nicea

('Holy, holy, holy')

Revelation 4 v.1-11

*********

John saw vision, behold, open door in heaven

Voice as if of trumpet sound spoken to him then

Saying, Come up hither, I will show you of things

Which must be hereafter, what future brings

 

John did behold a throne, in heaven it was set

And one sat on the throne, John did it not forget

Appearance like jasper* and sardius** stones seen

Round throne rainbow like to emerald green

 

Round throne twenty four seats, each with an elder

Clothed in white raiment, with their crowns of gold they were

From throne lightnings, thunderings, voices did proceed

All in realms above awesome sight did heed

 

And seven lamps of fire burning bright before

The throne, which are the seven spirits of God sure

Before the throne a sea of glass like to crystal

In midst of throne four beasts, they seeing-all

 

Beast like lion, beast like a calf small

Beast with face like a man, beast like flying eagle

They each had six wings and were full of eyes within

Ne'er rest day, night, the song they did begin

 

Holy, holy, holy, their song ever be

To the Lord God Almighty who lives eternally

He which was, and is, and is to come, e'erlasting

Beasts, elders, honour Him in everything

 

Falling down before Him, casting crowns before throne

Worshipping him that lives ever, He is God alone

Worthy to receive honour, glory, and power

You pleased with what you create every hour

(*Jasper can be red, yellow, brown, or green, or rarely blue)

(**Sardius can vary in colour from pale yellow to reddish orange

- may also be called sardine stone!)
