65. He Cometh the Shiloh Expected Long

1 He cometh, the Shiloh expected long;
He cometh! Receive Him with joyful song;
He cometh! Ye angels attend His birth;
He cometh! He cometh to judge the earth!

Chorus:
He cometh! He cometh to judge the earth,
The world He will judge with His righteousness,
The world He will judge with His righteousness,
The people, the people with equity.

2 He cometh, he cometh to claim His own;
He cometh! The King shall receive His throne;
He cometh! The nations shall know His worth;
He cometh! He cometh to judge the earth! [Chorus]
