And they sang 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. You have
made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve
our God,       and they will reign on the
earth."

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels,
numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten
thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the
throne and the living creatures and the elders.
In a loud voice they sang    "Worthy is the
Lamb, who was slain,    to receive power and
wealth and wisdom and strength    and honour and
glory and praise! (Rev 59-12)
