Lo! He comes with clouds descending..


Lo! He comes with clouds descending,
Once for ev'ry sinner slain;
Thousand, thousand saints attending
Swell the triump of his train:
Aleluia, aleluia, aleluia!
Christ the Lord returns to reign.
Ev'ry eye shall now behold him

Robed in glorious majesty;

Those who set at naught and sold him,

Pierced and nailed him to the tree,

Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,

Shall their true Messiah see.

Those dear tokens of His passion

Still His dazzling body bears,

Cause of endless exualtation

To His randsomed worshipers.

With what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture,

Gaze we on those glorius scars!

Yea, amen let all adore Thee,

High on Thine eternal throne;

Savior, take the power and glory,

Claim the kingdom as Thine own.

Aleluia, Aleluia, Aleluia!

Thou shalt reign and Thou alone!
