Trumpet Triumph

orchidee



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!

      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.
