The Jewel ‎#144

144. Lo! He comes with clouds descending

1 Lo! He comes, with clouds descending
Once for favoured sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of His train:
Hallelujah!
Jesus comes, and comes to reign.

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

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

4 Yea, Amen; let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne:
Saviour, take the power and glory,
Make Thy righteous sentence known.
O come quickly,
Claim the kingdom for Thine own.
