Anthems of the Blessed—Angels are looking forward with
earnest expectation to the final triumph of the people of God, when
seraphim and cherubim and the “ten thousand times ten thousand, and
thousands of thousands” shall swell the anthems of the blessed and
celebrate the triumphs of the mediatorial achievements in the recovery
of man.—

The Victor’s Palm and Shining Harp—In every hand are placed
the victor’s palm and the shining harp. Then, as the commanding
angels strike the note, every hand sweeps the harp strings with skillful
touch, awaking sweet music in rich, melodious strains. Rapture unut-
terable thrills every heart, and each voice is raised in grateful praise:
“Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own
[467]
blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to
Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.”

Sound of Music in Heaven—The prophet caught the sound of
music there, and song, such music and song as, save in the visions of

joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow
and sighing shall flee away.”

Song of the 144,000—These are they that stand upon Mount Zion
with the Lamb, having the Father’s name written in their foreheads.
They sing the new song before the throne, that song which no man
can learn save the hundred and forty and four thousand which were
redeemed from the earth.—
Prophets and Kings, 591

Acclamation in the New Earth—Upon its summit His feet will
rest when He shall come again. Not as a Man of sorrows, but as
a glorious and triumphant King He will stand upon Olivet, while
Hebrew hallelujahs mingle with Gentile hosannas, and the voices of
the redeemed as a mighty host shall swell the acclamation, Crown Him
