53 A SONG OF THE REDEEMED Ecce, turba multa
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.
