LyicsLO! 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 nought 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 children home!
Al 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!
