They Rest

Steve Pierce (Ben's dad) posted this and also sent me a link to a beautiful song on Thanksgiving sung by a choir singing, "They Rest." It was so beautiful. Here is a the Scripture behind it. There are weird parts of it that are capitalized, but here is how it was:

 

I heard a Voice from Heaven, saying unto me...

Blessed...Blessed are the Dead who Die in the Lord...

...For They Rest from their Labors..."

 

-Bible Book of Revelation,

Chapter 14, Verse 13

 

 

(I'm going to look up the Bible Gateway version...BRB)

 

Aahhh! It's beautiful! Here it is:

 

Revelation 14:13:  Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "'Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'" "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them."
