O how glorious is the kingdom wherein all the Saints rejoice with Christ; arrayed in white robes they follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth, praising God and saying:
Benediction and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving, honour and power and strength, to our God, for ever and ever. Amen.
(Revelation 7:12)
