Lo! He comes with clouds descending,
Once for favoured sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of His train:
|: Hallelujah! :|
Jesus comes, and comes to reign.
Every eye shall now behold Him
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold Him,
Pierced and nailed Him to the tree,
|: Deeply wailing, :|
Shall the true Messiah see.
When the solemn trump has sounded,
Heaven and earth shall flee away;
All who hate him must, confounded,
Hear the summons of that day;
|: Come to judgment! :|
Come to judgment, come away!
New redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear!
All his saints, by man rejected,
Now shall meet him in the air:
|: Hallelujah! :|
See the day of God appear!
Those dear tokens of His passion
Still His dazzling body bears;
Cause of endless exultation
To His ransomed worshippers;
[: With what rapture :]
Gaze we on those glorious scars!.
Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and glory,
Make thy righteous sentence known;;
|: Oh, come quickly, :|
Claim the kingdom for thine own.
