Lyics

Lo!  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 nought and sold him,

Pierced and nailed him to the tree,

Deeply willing, 

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 judgement!

Come to judgement!  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 general doom?

Promised glory to inherit,

Take thy weary children 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!
