Tune: Gelobt Sei Gott
('Christ is alive, with joy we sing')
Revelation 11 v.15-17
********
Seventh angel did trumpet sound
Great voices in heaven redound
Victory true in Christ is found
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
They said, Kingdoms of the world they
Are become now, it is the day
The Lord's kingdoms, His sovereign sway
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Kingdoms of the Lord, they now be
And of His Christ eternally
And He shall reign for ever free
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Though He did make all, Creator
Appointed authority sure
To men, to rule His world, its store
alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
They round His throne did worship there
Saying, We give you thanks, we share
In worship, your power, might fair
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Making a lot of noise there, Bugle Boy............ lol.
Thanks Dave. Yep, I usually blows me own trumpet! lol. Call it trumpet, not trump - arrgghh! He of the dodgy hairstyle.
Your first verse brings back memories of seeing Handel's Messiah when I was just in high school. It gave me goose bumps. Beautiful verse dear friend.
Thanks Bella. There's nothing's going to stop it, is there?! 🙂
Hope some churches are not too busy caught up in money-grabbing when the time comes. Doh!
Alleluia ! Trumpets are kind of loud, I always thought that, that is why they were used in the bible as a way of waking the dead, or knocking down the walls of Jericho. Good write Orchi
Thanks SB. Yep, kind of loud. As in a quiz show, it was said - '97%, that's quite high!' lol.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold. They'll drown out my singing! lol.
Always loved British motorcycles
Thanks N. lol.
