Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnal of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America 1940 #5a (1940) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Lo! he comes, with clouds descending,
Once for our salvation slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of his train:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ, the Lord, returns to reign.
2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold him,
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold him,
Pierced, and nailed him to the tree,
Deeply wailing, deeply wailing
Shall the true Messiah see.
3 Those dear tokens of his passion
Still his dazzling body bears,
Cause of endless exultation
To his ransomed worshipers:
With what rapture, with what rapture,
Gaze we on those glorious scars!
4 Yea, Amen! let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne:
Saviour, take the power and glory;
Claim the kingdoms for thine own:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone!
Amen. Topics: Advent; Advent IV The Holy Communion Closing; Ember Days Evening Prayer Closing Languages: English Tune Title: ST. THOMAS
