Author: Martin Madan; John Cennick; Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration #241 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Lo, He comes with clouds descending,
Once for favored sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of His train:
Alleluia! alleluia!
God appears on earth to reign.
2 Every 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,
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:
Alleluia! alleluia!
See the day of God appear.
4 Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee
High on Thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the pow'r and glory,
Claim the kingdom for Thine own:
O, come quickly, O, come quickly!
Everlasting God, come down.
Amen. Topics: Christ Second Coming; Judgment Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE
Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending
