The Cyber Hymnal ‎#12132

12132. Lo the great God will come from high

1 Lo the great God will come from high,
And with Him bring His own reward;
Jesus declares Jehovah nigh,
The sovereign God, th’almighty Lord!
"Lo, from above I quickly come,
And bring My own reward with Me,
And seal the universal doom,
Which stands to all eternity."

2 True witness of Thy swift return,
Thy faithful record we receive,
And long on angels’ wings upborne
To meet, and see Thy face, and live:
"Come quickly, Lord," our hearts reply;
"According to Thy word descend
Jehovah glorious from the sky,
And bring the joy that ne’er shall end."
