Lo! He cometh! countless trumpets
Blow to raise the sleeping dead!
’Mid ten thousand saints and angels,
See the great exalted Head!
|: Hallelujah! :|
Welcome, welcome, Son of God!
Full of joyful expectation,
Saints behold their Lord appear;
Truth and justice go before Him;
Now the joyful sentence hear!
|: Hallelujah! :|
Welcome sounds throughout the air!
Come, ye blessèd of My Father,
Enter into life and joy!
Banish all your fears and sorrows,
Endless praise be your employ!
|: Hallelujah! :|
Welcome, welcome to the skies.
Now at once they rise to glory,
Jesus brings them to the King;
There with all the hosts of Heaven,
They eternal anthems sing:
|: Hallelujah! :|
Boundless glory to the Lamb!
---Alternative verses---
Lo! He cometh! countless trumpets
Wake to life the slumbering dead!
’Mid ten thousand saints and angels,
See the great exalted Head!
|: Hallelujah! :|
Welcome, welcome, Son of God!
Full of joyful expectation,
Saints behold the Judge appear;
Truth and justice go before Him;
Now the joyful sentence hear!
|: Hallelujah! :|
Welcome, welcome, Judge divine!
