The Voice in Speech and Song
He presents to God the wave sheaf, those raised with Him as
representatives of that great multitude who shall come forth from the
grave at His second coming. He approaches the Father, with whom
there is joy over one sinner that repents; who rejoices over one with
singing....
With joy unutterable, rulers and principalities and powers acknowl-
edge the supremacy of the Prince of life. The angel host prostrate
themselves before Him, while the glad shout fills all the courts of
heaven, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and
riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.”
Revelation 5:12
.
Songs of triumph mingle with the music from angel harps, till
[460]
heaven seems to overflow with joy and praise. Love has conquered.
The lost is found. Heaven rings with voices in lofty strains proclaiming,
“Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth
upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.”
Revelation
5:13
