Hymnal for Church and Home ‎#79

79. Lo, He Comes With Clouds Descending

1 Lo, He comes with clouds descending,
Once for our salvation slain;
Thousand, thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of His train:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
God appears on earth to reign.

2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold Him,
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at nought and sold Him,
Pierced and nailed Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.

3 Now redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear:
All His saints, by men rejected,
Now shall meet Him in the air:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
See the day of God appear.

4 Yea, A-men, let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne:
Savior, take the power and glory;
Claim the kingdom for Thine own.
Oh, come quickly, oh, come quickly!
Everlasting God, come down.
