LyicsHe cometh! He cometh! The ages are o'er,
Lo! The clouds have received him, he tarries no more,
Lo! The clouds have received him, he tarries no more.
Lo! The times are fulfilled, and the voice of his word
Ushers in with its glory the day of the Lord!
Ushers in with its glory the day of the Lord!
Th' Archangel! Th' Archangel! His grave-stirring word
Now he speaketh in thunder, the blast of his Lord!
O'er the kingdom of death, in the earth and the main,
Loud he shouteth the triumph Messiah shall gain.
Behold him! Behold him! In triumph we cry,
And behold the bright angels that shine in the sky!
Lo, he comes, not as once, to a cheerless abode;
'Tis the day of his triumph, the day of our God!
Behold it! Behold it! The sight is divine!
See the walls of a city all splendidly shine!
'Tis the Salem of God coming down from above;
'Tis the city of glory, the city of love.
Come, Jesus! Come, Jesus! Thy bride bids thee come!
O come quickly! Come quickly, and take thy saints home!
All creation doth groan for the hope of thy reign -
O come quickly! Come quickly, Lord Jesus - Amen!
