Revelation 5:11-12

Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels surrounding the throne and the living creatures and the elders; they numbered myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,  singing with full voice, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”

From Background Notes [BN] for March 29th & 30th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

Beauty is an aesthetic value and not easily nailed down, either in dollars and cents or philosophically. If I want you to appreciate the beauty of a painting, my best strategy is to tell you, “Will you look at that!”
 

And so, in the Bible, the beauty of God often appears in breath-taking scenery as is the case in Revelation 4 and 5 where countless crowds of worshipper show us what God is like, rich with color, sound, and choreography. Or, reading the ancient text of Isaiah, we come across chapter 33 where we see “the king in His beauty.”  [BN, 8-9]
