Lo, he comes with clouds descending!
Once for favoured sinners slain:
Thousand, thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of his train.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ appears on earth again.

Evr'y 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.

The dear tokens of His passion
Still His dazzling body bears;
Cause of endless exultation
To His ransomed worshippers:
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 pow’r and glory,
Claim the kingdom for Thine own;
O come quickly! O come quickly!
Everlasting God, come down!
