LXXXIII. The second Advent

1 Lo! He comes with Clouds descending,
Once for guilty Sinners slain!
Thousand Thousand Saints attending,
Swell the Triumph of his Train.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah:
All the Angels cry Amen.

2 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, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.

3 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 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! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
See the Day of God appear.

5 Answer thine own Bride and Spirit,
Hasten, Lord, the gen'ral Doom,
The new Heav'n and Earth t' inherit,
Take thy pining Exiles home:
All Creation, all Creation, all Creation,
Travails! Groans! and bids thee come.

5 Yea, Amen! let all adore thee,
High on Thine eternal Throne!
Saviour, take the Pow'r and Glory:
Claim the Kingdom for thine own.
O come quickly, O come quickly, O come quickly
Hallelujah! come, Lord, come.
