Lo! he comes, with clouds descending,

Once for favored sinners slain,

Thousand thousand saints attending,

Swell the triumph of his train!

Hallelujah!

Jesus now shall ever reign!

2 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,

Shall the true Messiah see.

3 Every 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 Lord, thy Bride says by thy Spirit,

Hasten thou the general doom!

Promised glory to inherit,

Take thy weary pilgrims home!

All creation

Travails, groans, and bids thee come.

6 Yes—Amen! Let all adore thee,

High on thy exalted throne;

Saviour, take the power and glory,

Claim the kingdoms for thy own!

O! come quickly!

Hallelujah, come, Lord, come!
