Lyics

I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number,

Thousands of thousands, and ten times thousands,

Thousands of thousands, and ten times thousands,

Thousands of thousands, and ten times thousands,

Stood before the Lamb, and they had palms in their hands,

And they cease not day nor night, saying,

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty,

Which was, and is, and is to come,

Which was, and is, and is to come.

And I heard a mighty angel flying in the midst of heav'n,

Crying with a loud voice,

Wo, wo, wo, wo, be unto the earth, 

By reason of the trumpet which is yet to sound.

The great men and nobles, rich men and poor, bond and free,

Gathered themselves together,

And cried, cried tot he rocks and mountains to fall upon them,

And hide them from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne;

For the great day of his wrath is come,

And who shall be able to stand?

And who shall be able to stand?
