Refrain:

All   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.

Revelation 7.9,10,14b-17

All   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.

All   Salvation belongs to our God,

who will guide us to springs of living water.
