VII. The redeemed

and a lamb stood on the mount Sion

and with him an hundred and forty

and four thousand having his Father´s name

written in their foreheads

I heard a voice from heaven

I heard the voice of harpers harping with harps

and they sung as it were a new song

before the throne, before the four beasts

and no man could learn that song

but the hundred and forty four thousand

redeemed from the earth

these are they which were not defiled with women for they are virgins

these are they which follow the lamb withersoever he goeth

these were redeemed from among men

and in their mouth was found no guile for they are without fault

before the throne of God being the firstfruits unto God

these were redeemed from among men

and I saw another angel fly

in the midst of heaven

having the everlasting gospel to preach

unto them that dwell on the earth

and in every nation and kindred and people and tongue

"Fear God and give glory to him

for the hour of his judgement is come

and worship him that made heaven

Babylon´s fallen, that great city´s lost."

and if any man worship the beast

and receive his mark in his hand

he shall drink of the wine of God´s wrath

and be tormented with brimstone and fire

in the presence of the holy angels

and in the presence of the lamb

and the smoke of their torment ascendeth

up for ever and ever

here is the patience of saints

here are they that keep the commandments of God
