Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending

Lo! He comes with clouds des­cend­ing

Once for fa­vored sin­ners slain;

Thousand

thou­sand saints at­tend­ing

Swell the tri­umph of His train:

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

God ap­pears on earth to reign.

Every 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

deep­ly wail­ing

Shall the true Mes­si­ah see.

Every is­land

sea

and mount­ain

Heav’n and earth

shall flee away;

All who hate Him must

con­found­ed

Hear the trump pro­claim the day:

Come to judg­ment! Come to judg­ment!

Come to judg­ment! Come to judg­ment!

Come away!

Now redemp­tion

long ex­pect­ed

See in so­lemn pomp ap­pear;

All His saints

by man re­ject­ed

Now shall meet Him in the air:

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

See the day of God ap­pear!

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

all cre­ation

all cre­ation

Travails! groans! and bids Thee come!

The dear to­kens of His pas­sion

Still His daz­zling bo­dy bears;

Cause of end­less ex­ul­ta­tion

To His ran­somed wor­ship­ers;

With what rap­ture

with what rap­ture

With what rap­ture

Gaze we on those glo­ri­ous scars!

Yea

Amen! let all adore Thee

High on Thine eter­nal throne;

Savior

take the pow­er and glo­ry

Claim the king­dom for Thine own;

O come quick­ly! O come quick­ly!

O come quick­ly!

Everlasting God

come down!
