9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.(KJV)
Hymn: WS 711:
See in Yonder Manger Low
—
Born for us on earth below,
See the gentle Lamb appears,
Promised from eternal years.
Hail, the ever- blessed morn;
Hail redemption’s happy dawn;
Sing through all Jerusalem:
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
2. Lo, within a stable lies
He who built the starry skies,
He who, throned in height sublime,
Sits amid the cherubim.
Hail, the ever- blessed morn;
Hail redemption’s happy dawn;
Sing through all Jerusalem:
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
3. Sacred Infant, all divine,
What a tender love was Thine,
Thus to come from highest bliss
Down to such a world as this.
Hail, the ever- blessed morn;
Hail redemption’s happy dawn;
Sing through all Jerusalem:
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
4. Teach, oh, teach us, holy Child,
By Thy face so meek and mild,
Teach us to resemble Thee
In Thy sweet humility.
Hail, the ever- blessed morn;
Hail redemption’s happy dawn;
Sing through all Jerusalem:
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
