240. Lo! Jesus Comes

1 He comes, He comes, Lo! Jesus comes, the promised King of glory;
The Hope of all the ages past, foretold in song and story;
He comes the pris’ner to release; He comes, and wars and tumults cease;
He comes to reign, the Prince of peace, Lo! Jesus comes.

Chorus:
Then sing, O sing, ye ransomed, sing hallelujah!
Praise His name whom angels in glory adore;
Hail, all hail the conquering Lion of Judah!
He shall reign forever and evermore;
Hail, all hail the conquering Lion of Judah!
He shall reign forevermore.

2 O Church of God, awake, arise! the triumph day is nearing;
Fresh oil into your vessels take, to greet your Lord’s appearing;
That in His glory we may share, He bids us for the day prepare:
God’s kingdom is at hand; declare, “Lo! Jesus comes.” [Chorus]

3 “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,” in ev’ry land and nation;
And for this glorious time we look with eager expectation;
Signs of His coming multiply; the morning breaks! the watchmen cry!
“Amen, Amen;” Our hearts reply, “Lo! Jesus comes.” [Chorus]
