The Cyber Hymnal ‎#11068

11068. Lo! He Cometh

1 Lo! He cometh in the clouds of heaven,
Angel hosts attend the King of kings;
Rocks are rent and graves asunder riven,
Saints arise, and joy His coming brings.

Refrain:
Praise Him, praise Him, all ye nations, praise Him;
Praise Him, crown Him, crown the King of kings.
Praise Him, praise Him, all ye nations, praise Him;
Praise Him, crown Him, crown the King of kings.

2 Earthly conquerors, howe’er victorious,
Conquered now by Him who rules alone,
Yield their crowns to One more great and glorious,
For the thrones and kingdoms are His own. [Refrain]

3 See the city of our God descending;
Hark! the voices of the heav’nly throngs;
Sin and death and hell no more contending,
Peace to Zion evermore belongs. [Refrain]
