The Blood Part 26

26. The blood of Jesus Christ is known in heaven as our redemption, and is sung there too. As it is written, " Thou wart slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation." (Rev. 5:9⁹And 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 redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; (Revelation 5:9).) Thus it is sung in heaven as our redemption, in the ears of God and the Lamb and heaven's host, by a company set there by appointment, and in excellent dignity and glory too, to represent the church still militant. Their song was heard in John's day, and has been onward from that time, to this. Heaven, therefore, cannot forget we are redeemed, though some of us may.
