603 MEMORIAL DAYS
Revelation 7:9-17
Min: After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
And crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!
Min: And all the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,
Saying: Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen.
Min: Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?
And I said to him, Sir, you know. So he said to me, These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Min: Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple.
And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them.
Min: They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;
For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Psalm 9:1-4, 9-12, 19; 10:3, 8, 9, 11, 12
Min: I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
Min: When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
Min: The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.
And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
Min: Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!
Declare His deeds among the people. He does not forget the cry of the humble.
Min: Arise, O Lord, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight.
For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire; He blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord.
Min: He sits in the lurking places of the villages; In the secret places he murders the innocent.
His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless.
Min: He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den; He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
Min: He has said in his heart, "God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will never see it."
Arise, O Lord! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble.
