"Lord God Almighty,                        Holding seven bowls of plagues
how great and marvelous                    They came out of the temple
are your great deeds on the Earth and            dressed in shining linen,
how right are your ways in all the world         Golden bands tied round their chests
O King of all nations.  Who will                Living creatures gave the angels
not stand in awe of you, Lord, for you alone        Golden bowls full of anger.
are the holy one.  All the nations                Temple was filled with smoke
bow to your power."                        from the glory and the power.
