566. Lo! He comes in clouds descending

1 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!

2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold Him
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at nought and sold Him,
Pierced and nail'd Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,
Shall the great Messiah see!

3 Ev'ry island, sea, and mountain,
Heaven 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!

4 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!

5 Yea! amen! let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne;
Saviour! take the power and glory;
Claim the kingdoms for Thine own!
Oh, come quickly!
Hallelujah! come, Lord, come!
