LyicsLo! he cometh-countless trumpets
Wake to life the slumbering dead;
'Mid ten thousand saints and angels,
See their 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!
"Come, ye blessed 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.
