7928. When The King Of Kings Comes

1 When the King of kings comes,
When the Lord of lords comes,
We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes;
To see the nations broken down,
And kingdoms once of great renown,
And saints now suffering wear the crown,
When the King of kings comes.

2 When the trump of God calls,
When the last of foes falls;
We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes;
To see the saints raised from the dead,
And all together gathered,
And made like to their glorious Head,
When the King of kings comes.

3 When the foe’s distress comes,
When the Church’s rest comes;
We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes;
To see the New Jerusalem,
Its fullness and its matchless frame,
Surpassing all report and fame,
When the King of kings comes.

4 When the world’s course is run,
When the judgment is begun!
We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes;
To see the sons of God well known,
All spotless to their Father shown,
And Jesus all His brethren own,
When the King of kings comes.

5 When our Lord in clouds comes,
When He with great pow’r comes,
We shall have a joyful day,
When the King of kings comes;
To see all things by Him restored,
And God Himself alone adored,
By all the saints with one accord,
When the King of kings comes.
