LyicsWHEN the King of kings comes,
When the Lord of lords comes:
We shall have a joyful day
When the King of kings comes;
To see the nations broken down,
And kingdoms once of great renown,
And saints, now suff'ring, wear the crown,
When the King of kings comes.
When the trump of God calls,
When the last of foes fall;
We shall have a joyful day
When the King of kings comes;
To see the saints rais'd from the dead,
And all together gathered,
And made like to their glorious Head,
When the King of kings comes.
When the foes' distress comes,
When the church's rest comes;
We shall have a joyful day
When the King of kings comes;
To see the New Jerusalem,
Its fulness and its matchless frame,
Surpassing all report and fame,
When the King of Kings comes.
When the world's course is run,
When the judgment is begun;
We shall have a joyful day
When the King of kings comes;
To see the sons of God well known,
All spotless to their Father shown;
And Jesus all his brethren own,
When the King of kings comes.
When the Lord from heav'n comes;
We shall have a joyful day
When the King of kings comes;
To see the righteous cause prevail,
And all debates decided well,
And all mouths stopp'd which lies do tell,
When the King of kings comes.
When our God in clouds comes,
When he with great pow'r comes;
We shall have a joyful day
When the King of kings comes;
To see all things by him restor'd,
And God himself alone ador'd
By all the saints with one accord,
When the King of kings comes.
