The Seven Last Plagues Lyrics


VIII. The seven last plagues

["Go your ways and pour out the vials of the wrath of God."]

The first angel went, poured out his vial upon the earth

there fell a noisome, grievous sore upon the marked men

the second angel went, poured out his vial upon the sea

and every living soul died in the sea

and the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers

and fountains of waters and they became blood

and I heard the angel of the waters say

"Thou art righteous, o Lord, which art and wast and shalt be

because thou hast judge thus for they have shed all the blood of saints

and thou hast given them blood to drink for they are worthy."

the fourth angel went, poured out his vial upon the sun

to scorch men with fire was the power he was given

the fifth angel went, poured out his vial upon the seat

of the beast and his kingdom was full of darkness

the sixth angel went, poured out his vial upon the Euphrates

and the water was dried up so the eastern kings´ way might be prepared

the seventh angel went, pured out his vial into the air

there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven saying:

"It is done."

and a great hail out of heaven fell on men

Babylon was divided into three parts

and the cities of the nations fell
