Philadelphia Prosperities

Tune: All Saints

('Who are these like stars appearing?')

Revelation 2 v.7-13

*******

Message to Philadelphia

Ears to listen, they did stir

Message from the one holy, true

He has key of David too

He opens, no man shuts, no

He shuts, no man opens, so

 

I know your works, behold I set

An open door '[be]fore you yet

And no man can shut it here for

I see your little strength sure

You my word have kept, no blame

Have not denied my great name

 

Behold, I will make them who be

Of Satan's synagogue, see

Who say they are Jews, but are not

This even will be their lot

They shall come and worship you

Knowing I have loved you true

 

Because you have kept the word here

To be patient, persevere

I also will keep you, guard you

Frome hour of trial too

From temptation, comes anon

On the world to try each one

 

Behold, I come quickly, hold fast

That which you have, make it last

So that no one does take your crown

I will bring you fame, renown

They that overcome I will

Make pillar in Temple still

 

And they shall no more then go out

But remain firm with no doubt

And I will upon them too write

The name of my God, fine sight

And name of my God's city

Heaven's Jerusalem it be

 

And I hall write on them, inscribe

My new name among their tribe

They shall be rewarded, valued

In the ir God shall be renewed

So let them that have an ear

Hear the Spirit and draw near

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 88 88 77 metre. One of the seven churches in Revelation. The Philadelphia in Turkey it is (Alasehir), not the one in USA! Well, the message might apply there too!

    A lot of this is in symbolic language. I don't pretend to understand it all, though I aim to keep the poem in simple language. The hymn in the clip is also from Revelation - Chapter 7. You singing it with dignity, as it says? The only undignified singing is mine. heehee.

      We could form a duo Orchi and create an overnight sensation - even better there would be no stray cats in the garden.
