Lyics

Lo! he comes, with clouds descending,

Once for favor'd sinners slain,

Thousand thousand saints attending,

Swell the triumph of his train;

Hallelujah!

Jesus now shall ever reign!



Ev'ry eye shall now behold him,

Rob'd in dreadful majesty;

Those who set at naught and sold him

Pierc'd and nail'd him to the tree,

Deeply wailing,

Shall the true Messiah see.



Ev'ry island, sea, and mountain,

Heav'n 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!



Lord, thy bride says by thy Spirit,

Hasten thou the gen'ral doom!

Promis'd glory to inherit,

Take thy weary pilgrims home!

All creation

Travails, groans, and bids thee come.



Yes-Amen!  Let all adore thee,

High on thy exalted throne;

Saviour, take the power and glory,

Claim the kingdoms for thy own!

O! come quickly!

Hallelujah, come, Lord, come!
