Worthy Is the Lamb  

Seeing no one qualified to open a scroll, John weeps and weeps. One of the elders says, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has triumphed!" 

   Next, John in his vision sees a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne. The Lamb is encircled by the living creatures and the elders. Each one has a harp and they hold golden bowls of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 

   And they sing a new song:  

   You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals. Because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.  

   Then John hears the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircle the throne. In a loud voice they sing:

   Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise.

   And John hears every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea and all that is in them, singing: 

   To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be praise and honor and glory and power, forever and ever. 

   And the elders fall down and worship.
