Rejoicing in Heaven

After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out,

Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

2

for true and just are his judgments.
He has condemned the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth by her adulteries.
He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”

2

for his judgments are true and just;
for he has judged the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her immorality,
and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”

3

And again they shouted:
“Hallelujah!
The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.”

Once more they cried out,

The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”

small and great.”

Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.

Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory,

Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear.”

it was granted her to clothe herself
with fine linen, bright and pure” —
