[Instrumental] [Verse] After this I had a vision of an open door to heaven, and I heard the trumpetlike voice that had spoken to me before, saying, Come up here and I will show you what must happen afterwards. [Chorus] Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come. [Instrumental] [Verse] At once I was caught up in spirit. A throne was there in heaven, and on the throne sat one whose appearance sparkled like jasper and carnelian. [Verse] Around the throne was a halo as brilliant as an emerald. [Verse] Surrounding the throne I saw twenty-four other thrones on which twenty-four elders sat, dressed in white garments and with gold crowns on their heads. [Verse] From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder. [Verse] Seven flaming torches burned in front of the throne, which are the seven spirits of God. [Verse] In front of the throne was something that resembled a sea of glass like crystal. [Verse] In the center and around the throne, there were four living creatures covered with eyes in front and in back. [Verse] The first creature resembled a lion, the second was like a calf, the third had a face like that of a human being, and the fourth looked like an eagle in flight. [Verse] The four living creatures, each of them with six wings, were covered with eyes inside and out. Day and night they do not stop exclaiming: [Chorus] Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come. [Instrumental] [Verse] Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before the one who sits on the throne and worship him, who lives forever and ever. [Chorus] Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come. [Instrumental] [Verse] They throw down their crowns before the throne, exclaiming: Worthy are you, Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things; because of your will they came to be and were created. [Instrumental] [End]
