Call to Worship
One: And I looked, and there was a great crowd that no one could number. They were from every nation, tribe, people and language. They were standing before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out with a loud voice:
All: “Victory belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
One: And the angels fell facedown before the throne and worshipped God, saying:
All: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and power and might be to our God forever and ever. Amen!”
