| 1. He comes! He comes!
the Judge severe!
The seventh trumpet
speaks Him near;
His lightnings flash,
His thunders roll;
How welcome to the faithful soul!
2. From Heav’n angelic voices sound;
See the almighty Jesus crowned,
Girt with omnipotence and grace!
And glory decks the Savior’s face.
3. Descending on His
great white throne,
He claims the kingdoms for His own;
The kingdoms all obey His Word,
And hail Him their triumphant Lord.
4. Shout, all the people of the sky,
And all the saints of the Most High;
Our Lord, Who now His right obtains,
Forever and forever reigns.
