Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending

Author: Charles Wesley; Martin Madan; John Cennick Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 770 hymnals 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 dreadful majesty! Those who set at naught and sold Him, Pierced and nailed Him to the tree, Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, Shall their true Messiah see. 3 Now the Savior, long-expected, See in solemn pomp appear. All His saints, by man 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!

In my hand no price I bring; Simply to Thy cross I cling. 3 While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown And behold Thee on Thy throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 878 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold; "Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King!" The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. 2 Still thro' the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hov'ring wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo! the days are hast'ning on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold, When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing.
