Book of Common Prayer

Praise or thanks are given to God for judging the whore, and for avenging the blood of his servants. The angel will not be worshipped. The fowls and birds are called to the slaughter.

19 And after that I heard the voice of a great many people in heaven saying, Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honour and power be ascribed to the Lord our God!

⁴ And the 24 elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshipped God who sat on the seat, saying, Amen! Alleluia! ⁵ And a voice came out of the seat, saying, Praise our Lord God, all you who are his servants, and you who fear him, both small and great!

⁶ And I heard the voice of a great many people, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of strong thunderings, saying, Alleluia, for God Omnipotent reigns! ⁷ Let us be glad and rejoice and give honour to him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready. ⁸ And to her it was granted that she should be arrayed with pure and splendid linens. For fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.

⁹ And he said to me, Happy are those who are called to the Lamb’s supper! And he said to me, These are the true sayings of God. ¹⁰ And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See you do it not. For I am your fellow servant and one of your brethren, and of those who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
