Once for our salvation slain;
Thousand angel-hosts attending
Swell the triumph of His train:
Hallelujah!
Christ, the Lord, returns 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,
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!
See the day of God appear.
4 Yea, Amen, let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the power and glory;
Claim the kingdoms for Thine own:
Hallelujah!
Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone! Tune Title: [Lo, He comes with clouds descending]
Lo, He comes with clouds descending
