Author: Madan; J. Cennick; C. Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #39b (1894) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Lo, He comes with clouds descending,
Once for our salvation slain;
Thousand angel-hosts attending,
Swell the triumph of His train:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
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, 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 Thy eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and glory;
Claim the kingdoms for Thine own:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone.
Amen.
