Verse 1

And I saw a mighty Angel proclaiming with a loud voice who is worthy to open the Book and to loose the scale thereof and no man in Heav'n or Earth was able to open the Book neither to look thereon and I wept and I wept because no man was found worthy to open the Book neither to look thereon

Verse 2

and one of the elders saith unto me weep not weep not for behold the lion of the tribe of Judah and root of David hath prevailed to open the Book and to loose the seven seals thereof and I beheld and lo in the midst of the Throne stood a lamb As it had been slain having seven horns and having seven eyes which were the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth

Verse 3

and when he had taken the Book and the four and twenty and he came and took the Book out of the hand of him that sat upon the throne Elders fell down before the Lamb the Angels were mute and they listned with wonder the Angels were mute and in tacitness did wonder the Angels were mute and the saints did shout and sing worthy the lamb the lamb that was slain for he hath redeemed us for he hath redeemed us redeemed us to God and hast made us Kings and Priest and we shall reign upon the earth

Verse 4

then the whole multitude of Saints and Angels united their Voices and sang with a shout saying worthy the Lamb worthy the Lamb the Lamb that was slain for he is worthy to receive Glory and Honour Wisdom and Power Hallelujah Amen

Verse 5

holy holy holy Lord God Almighty just and true are all thy ways O thou King of Saints Hallelujah Glory and Honour Hallelujah Amen

Verse 6

worthy the Lamb the lamb that was slain for he is worthy for he is worthy to receive Glory and Honour wisdom and Power Hallelujah and again they said Hallelujah Hallelujah Amen Glory and honour Hallelujah Amen and Amen
