D^m2                                              D^m2/C

Behold the door was opened, in Heaven I could see

          D^m2/A^#                           A⁷

And a Voice like a trumpet began to speak to me

             D^m         A⁷/C^#         F/C                   G/B

Saying, come up higher, and I will show you things

B^b/G           C              D^m

Which hereafter must be

E^bm                                    E^bm/D^b               

Suddenly in the Spirit, my eyes beheld a throne

        E^bm/B                             B^b7

And He that sat thereon was like a precious stone

          E^bm                    B^b/D  G^b/D^b                  A^b7/C

Then four and twenty elders robed in shining white

B/A^b                               G^b/B^b                B/A^b              B^bsus4   B^b

Cast their crowns down at His feet and all of Heaven cried

E^b   B^b/E^b E^b   B^b/E^b E^b  B^b/E^b

E^m                                      E^m/D

(The one upon the throne held within His hand

    E^m/C                                   B⁷

A book with seven seals that never had been read

              E^m                  B⁷/D^#  G/D                   A⁷/C^#

Then an angel tall and strong stood and cried aloud

C/A                  G/B               C              D           E^m

Who is worthy to reveal the mysteries that are bound?)

The Lion of the tribe of Judah hath prevailed”

           F^m                C⁷/E    A^b/E^b        B^b7/D

In the midst of the throne, I beheld a Lamb

D^b/B^b              A^b/C                       D^b/B^b                 C^sus4     C

Standing as it had been slain, the book within His hand
