American Lutheran Hymnal ‎#320

320. Lo, He Comes With Clouds Descending

1 Lo, He comes with clouds descending,
Once for our salvation slain;
Thousand angel-hosts attending
Swell the triumph of His train:
Hallelujah!
Christ, the Lord, returns to reign.

2 Ev'ry 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.

3 Now redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear;
All His saints, by men rejected,
Now shall meet Him in the air:
Hallelujah!
See the day of God appear.

4 Yea, Amen, let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the pow'r and glory;
Claim the kingdoms for Thine own:
Hallelujah!
Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone.
