Come and hear the words of Jesus, Who holds the seven stars
And who walks among the seven lamps of gold.
He says, “I know all your actions, you’ve tested wicked men,
You have persevered, though hardships o’er you rolled.
Come and hear the words of Jesus, Who is the First and Last
And Who died and then came back to life again.
He says, “I know your afflictions; you’re poor, yet you are rich.
You’ve endured much slander from the tongues of men.
Come and hear the words of Jesus, Who holds the two-edged sword;
He says, “You’ve been true and not renounced your faith.
Yet I have some things against you: you’ve been enticed to sin;
Immorality and idols you’ve embraced.
Come and hear the words of Jesus, Whose eyes are blazing fire.
He says, “I know all your love and faith and deeds.
You are doing more than ever, yet still I bring this charge,
For you tolerate a teacher who misleads.
Come and hear the words of Jesus, Who holds the seven stars.
He says, “People think you’re living, but you’re dead.
You must wake up now and strengthen what’s left before it dies,
For your deeds are not complete, My God has said.
Come and hear the words of Jesus, Who’s true and holds the key;
What He opens or He shuts will stay the same.
He says, “See, I’ve placed before you a door that’s open wide,
For you’ve kept My word and not denied My Name.
Come and hear the words of Jesus, God’s Witness, faithful, true.
He says, “You are neither cold, nor are you hot.
So because you’re lukewarm only, I’ll spit you from My mouth,
For you think you’re rich and do not know you’re not.
