| 1. Lo! He comes
with clouds descending,
Once for favored sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of His train:
|: Hallelujah! :|
Christ appears on earth again.
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. Those dear tokens of His passion
Still His dazzling body bears;
Cause of endless exultation
To His ransomed worshippers;
[: With what rapture :]
Gaze we on those glorious scars!.
4. Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the power and glory,
Claim the kingdom for Thine own;
|: Hallelujah! :|
Everlasting God, come down!
