Tune: Monks Gate
('He who would valiant be')
Revelation 7 v.13-17
*********
Who these around God's throne?
Worship Him alone
They who through great trouble
Came, e'en one and all
Have washed their robes, and made
Them in clean white displayed
Washed in blood of the Lamb
Christ Jesus His name
Therefore are they before
Throne of God e'ermore
They serve Him day and night
In His temple bright
God who sits on the throne
Each one to Him is known
He shall among them dwell
His presence they tell
They shall hunger no more
Nor thirst, it be sure
Neither shall the sun smite
Them with its heat, light
For the Lamb in the midst
Shall feed them, this He wist* (*wills, knows)
Shall be their shepherd still
Keep them from all ill
And shall lead them unto
Living founts, renew
Them with waters, fresh springs
Refreshment them brings
And God shall wipe away
All tears from eyes that day
Citizens of heaven
Blessed eternal then

A powerful hymn one to be sung when the sermon is going to be of hellfire and brimstone. I once washed a shirt with blood and it didn't come out white, my wife wouldn't let me wear it anymore.
Thank you SB. Doh! Yes, sounds strange that. It's a metaphor, as blood would only stain clothes. You probably knew that or guessed that.
You are most welcome Orchi yea I guessed that after my mother got on me as a child for getting blood on my T shirts.
Orchi, I've always loved the hope found in Revelation 7. Though I confess, if Popeye and I arrive at the pearly gates together, I'm letting him go first. I want to see what happens when St. Peter discovers the contraband spinach! LOL! Do they have brollies in heaven? WCAT! 🤣 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you T. lol. Dunno if it ever rains there (normal use of brollies!) but there's not night there. So if His people serve Him day and night, the nights must be as daylight.
Your hymn poems become you sir ..
Thank you N.
