Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice,
"Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?"
And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. And one of the elders said to me,
"Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals."
And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying,
Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice,
And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,
And the four living creatures said, "Amen!"
and the elders fell down and worshiped.
(Revelation 5:1-14 ESV)
Made me think of this: "Agnus Dei" - Worthy is the Lamb
ReplyDeleteFriends of mine sang this at their wedding. They used to sing it in the church I went to as well.
Oh that day is coming soon when we shall join in the heavenly choir to sing Worthy is the Lamb. He is!!!
