Hymns, Selected and Original ‎#731

731. Lo! He comes, with clouds descending

1 Lo! He comes, with clouds descending,
Once for favor'd sinners slain:
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of his train:
Hallelujah,
Jesus now shall ever reign!

2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold him
Rob'd in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold him,
Pierc'd and nail'd him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,
Shall the great Messiah see!

3 Ev'ry island, sea, and mountain,
Heaven and earth, shall flee away;
All who hate him must, confounded,
Hear the trump proclaim the day;
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!
See the day of God appear!

5 Answer thine own Bride and Spirit,
Hasten, Lord, the general doom!
The new heav'n and earth t'inherit,
Take thy pining exiles home:
All creation
Travails, groans, and bids thee come!

6 Yea! Amen! let all adore thee,
High on thine exalted throne;
Saviour! take the pow'r and glory:
Claim the kingdoms for thine own!
O come quickly,
Hallelujah! Come, Lord, come!
