17. When He Cometh

1 Happy songs thro’ all the earth shall ring
When He cometh,
When He cometh,
We shall all with joy behold our King
Then our blessed Lord shall come again.

Refrain:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Sing aloud the joyful strain,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Lo! He comes a King to reign.

2 Pain and sorrow then shall pass away
When He cometh,
When He cometh,
On the world shall dawn a glorious day
Then our blessed Lord shall come again. [Refrain]

3 He shall rule the world from shore to shore
When He cometh,
When He cometh,
We shall reign with Him forevermore
Then our blessed Lord shall come again. [Refrain]
