Excerpt from The New Song: A Sermon, Delivered in Bowdoin-Street Church, BostonThe song itself is a hymn of praise to the divine Redeemer. The inspired writer informs us that when no created being in the universe was found worthy to unseal and explain the book which was held in the right hand of Him who sits on the throne of heaven, and which contained his eternal counsels and purposes respecting his church, then he beheld, and 10, in the midst of the throne, and of the four beasts, (or living beings, ) and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb, as it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth: and he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. It was on this great occasion that the four living be ings, and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints. Immediately it is added, And they sung a new song, saying, thou art worthy to take the book, and to Open the seals thereof for thou wast slain, and hast re deemed us to God by thy blood, out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation, and hast made us unto our God kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth It appears, then, that the new song which resounds through the regions Of bliss, is a song of praise to the lord jesus christ. His name calls forth from the myriads of the redeemed, their sweetest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
