53 A SONG OF THE REDEEMED
| |
Refrain: | Salvation belongs to our God,* who will guide us to springs of living water. |
1 |
Behold, a great multitude* which no one could number, |
2 |
From every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues,* standing before the throne and the Lamb. |
3 |
They were clothed in white robes and had palms in their hands,* and they cried with a loud voice, saying, |
4 |
Salvation belongs to our God* who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb. |
5 |
These are they who have come out of the great tribulation,* they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb; |
6 |
Therefore they stand before the throne of God,* whom they serve day and night within the temple. |
7 |
And the One who sits upon the throne* will shelter them with his presence. |
8 |
They shall never again feel hunger or thirst,* the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. |
9 |
For the Lamb at the heart of the throne* will be their Shepherd, |
10 |
He will guide them to springs of living water,* and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. |
To the One who sits on the throne and to the Lamb* be blessing and honour and glory and might, for ever and ever. Amen. | |
Revelation 7. 9-10, 14b-17 | |
Salvation belongs to our God* who will guide us to springs of living water. |
