Daily Worship

Chorus of praise

Revelation 4: 6b-11

Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.

In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:

“‘Holy, holy, holy

is the Lord God Almighty,’[a]

who was, and is, and is to come.”

9 Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:

11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,
    to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
    and by your will they were created
    and have their being.”

God of heaven,
all creation is praising you today:
the splash of the rain and the light of the sun
the laughter of a child and the squawk of a seagull.
And I am invited to join in with that chorus of praise.

"Holy, Holy, Holy
is the Lord God Almighty
who was and is and is to come."

God of heaven,
all of heaven is praising You today:
indescribable life beyong our imagining
innumerable angels beyond our counting
inaudible music beyond our hearing.
And I am invite to join in with that chorus of praise.

"You are worthy , our Lord and our God
to receive glory and honour and power."
AMEN
