Tune: Diademata

('Crown Him with many crowns')

Revelation 19 v.11-16

********

Heaven opened, white horse

Goes forth now on its course

The rider, He called 'Faithful, True'

A mission has to do

In righteousness He does

Judge and make war, but loves

The good and right with pure delight

But hates all shades of night

 

His eyes a flame of fire

he the bright morning star

And on His head were crowns many

All visible to see

And too a name written

Which no one could know then

Except Himself, and whom He willed

That it should be revealed

 

Clothed with vesture stained-blood

For us, redeeming flood

The Word of God it is His name

E'er of eternal fame

His armies followed forth

From east, west, south, and north

They too on white horses displayed

In white linen arrayed

 

From His mouth goes a sword

Sharp, He o'er all the Lord

With sword He shall the nations smite

And bring in truth and right

He shall rule with a rod

Of iron, and He for God

Tends to evil and with it deals

Whate'er destroys, kills, steals

 

Awesome sight, God's winepress

Of His fierceness, no less

'Tis full of His anger and wrath

Consumes evil like moth

On His vesture and thigh

His name is seen, draw nigh

It written KING OF KINGS is He

And LORD OF LORDS He be

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem on 6686 6686 metre (Double Short Metre = DSM).Based on some verses of mystical revelations of the book of that name. I feel it is an archetype(typical example) matched to the original hymn and tune.

      Thanks STEVE ~ a lovely way to end Saturday and lead into Sunday ! Singing DIADEM in the Royal Albert Hall with the full orchestra is the closest to Heaven ~ on Earth ~ I've been ! I love JOHN'S REVELATIONS and I too have seen the White Horse and its RIDER (JESUS) and I know my future is in GOD's HANDS and not TRUMP'S or even MAY'S ~ consequently I am never afraid of the FUTURE ~ before or even beyond the GRAVE ~ GOD is SOVEREIGN ! Thanks for caring & then sharing BRIAN
