Once for favored sinners slain.
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of His train.
Alleluia!
God appears on earth to reign.
2 Ev'ry 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 man rejected,
Now shall meet Him in the air;
Alleluia!
See the Day of God appear.
4 Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne!
Saviour, take the power and glory,
Claim the Kingdom for Thine own;
O come quickly,
Alleluia! come, Lord come!
Amen. Scripture: Daniel 7:10 Used With Tune: KENSINGTON
Lo! He Comes, with Clouds Descending
