LyicsLo! He comes, with clouds descending,
Once for favored sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of his train.
Hallelujah!
Jesus now shall ever 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.
Every island, sea, and mountain,
Heaven and earth, shall flee away;
All who hate him, must confounded,
Hear the trump proclaim the day:
Come to judgment;
Come to judgment, come away.
Now 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.
