Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788); John Cennick (1718-1755) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #477 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7.12.7 Lyrics: 1 Lo, he comes with clouds descending,
Christ, the Lamb, for sinners slain;
thousand thousand saints attending
join the sing the glad refrain:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
God appears on earth to reign.
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, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
shall the true Messiah see.
3 Those deep wounds of cross and passion
still his glorious body bears;
cause of endless exultation
to his ransomed worshipers;
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
See! the day of God appears.
4 Yea, amen, let all adore you,
high on your eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and glory,
claim the kingdom for your own:
oh, come quickly, oh, come quickly, oh, come quickly,
Alleluia! come, Lord, come! Topics: Christ Risen Coming Again; Christ Incarnate Promise of the Messiah Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 3:13 Languages: English Tune Title: HELMSLEY
