「……圣哉！圣哉！圣哉！主神是昔在，今在，以后永在的全能者。」（8节）

经文
启示录四1-11

1此后，我观看，见天上有门开了。我初次听见好像吹号的声音，对我说：你上到这里来，我要将以后必成的事指示你。

2我立刻被圣灵感动，见有一个宝座安置在天上，又有一位坐在宝座上。

3看那坐着的，好像碧玉和红宝石；又有虹围着宝座，好像绿宝石。

4宝座的周围又有二十四个座位；其上坐着二十四位长老，身穿白衣，头上戴着金冠冕。

5有闪电、声音、雷轰从宝座中发出；又有七盏火灯在宝座前点着；这七灯就是神的七灵。

6宝座前好像一个玻璃海，如同水晶。宝座中和宝座周围有四个活物，前后遍体都满了眼睛。

7第一个活物像狮子，第二个像牛犊，第三个脸面像人，第四个像飞鹰。

8四活物各有六个翅膀，遍体内外都满了眼睛。他们昼夜不住的说：圣哉！圣哉！圣哉！主神是昔在、今在、以后永在的全能者。

9每逢四活物将荣耀、尊贵、感谢归给那坐在宝座上、活到永永远远者的时候，

10那二十四位长老就俯伏在坐宝座的面前敬拜那活到永永远远的，又把他们的冠冕放在宝座前，说：

11我们的主，我们的神，你是配得荣耀、尊贵、权柄的；因为你创造了万物，并且万物是因你的旨意被创造而有的。

"...Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come'. " (v.8)

Bible reading:
Revelation 4:1-11

1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this."

2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.

3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne.

4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.

5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits[a] of God.

6 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,'[b] 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."
