The Wedding Supper of the Lamb

Alleluia!
For the Lord our[a] God, the Almighty, reigns.
Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory,
        because the wedding of the Lamb has come.
His bride has made herself ready,
and she was given bright, clean, fine linen to wear.
(In fact, the fine linen is the “not guilty” verdicts pronounced on the saints.)

“Hallelujah!(C)
    For our Lord God Almighty(D) reigns.(E)
Let us rejoice and be glad
    and give him glory!(F)
For the wedding of the Lamb(G) has come,
    and his bride(H) has made herself ready.
Fine linen,(I) bright and clean,
    was given her to wear.”
