At this beautiful moment, at this exciting time,

the heavens above and all under heaven now praise.

Who would not be excited for this? Who would not rejoice for this?

Who would not weep on this occasion? Who would not weep on this occasion?

Ay …

The sky is not the same sky, now it is the kingdom’s sky.

The earth is not the earth it was, but now is holy earth.

After a heavy rain has passed, the filthy old world is utterly transformed.

After a heavy rain has passed, the filthy old world is utterly transformed.

The mountains changing … the waters changing …

People too changing … all things changing …

Quiet mountains! Dance for God!

Stagnant waters! Flow freely!

Slumbering men! Rise up in your pursuits! Rise up in your pursuits!

Ay …

God has come … And God reigns …

God has come … And God reigns …

All will see with their own eyes God’s face, all will hear with their own ears God’s voice,

experience for themselves life in the kingdom …

So sweet … So beautiful …

So sweet … So beautiful …

Unforgettable … Unforgettable …

Ay …

In the burning of God’s wrath, the great red dragon struggles.

In God’s majestic judgment, devils show their true forms.

At God’s stern words, at God’s stern words,

all feel shame, not daring to show their faces.

Recalling the past, how they mocked God,

always showing off themselves, always defying God.

Today, who will not weep?

Who feels no remorse? Who feels no remorse?

The entire universe world is full of tears …

Full of the sounds of rejoicing … full of laughter …

Incomparable joy … Incomparable joy …

Light rain pattering … heavy snow fluttering down …

People mingling sorrow and joy …

Some laughing … some sobbing … and some cheering …

As if people have forgotten … whether it is an overcast and rainy spring,

Ay …

a summer of blooming flowers, an autumn of bountiful harvest,

a winter cold as ice and frost, no one knows …

In the sky the clouds drift, on the earth the seas boil.

The sons wave their arms … the people move their feet in dance …

The angels are at work … the angels are shepherding …

The people of earth bustle, all things on earth multiply.

The people of earth bustle, all things on earth multiply.

Ay …
