“And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.” Revelation 19:6-7 · KJV
Revelation 19 records the loudest song heaven has ever sung: the roar of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and mighty thunder, all shouting one word — Alleluia. The Lamb's wedding is announced, and heaven cannot keep its voice down. This SATB a cappella hymn puts the household inside that choir for a moment.
“And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.” Revelation 19:6-7 · KJV

The Christian household is not singing alone. Every household hymn we sing is a thin echo of the great choir that is already rehearsing for the Lamb's wedding. When we join the small song here, we are practising for the great song there. The Alleluia we breathe tonight is the same word heaven will thunder forever.
O Lord God omnipotent, thou reignest. Alleluia. Prepare this household for the wedding of the Lamb. Trim our lamps. Fill our voices. Give us grace to sing here what heaven sings there. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
