Lo, He comes with clouds descending

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #1 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Lo, He comes, with clouds descending, Once for favour'd sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of His train: Hallelujah! God appears on earth to reign. 2 Every eye shall now behold Him, Robed in dreadful majesty; Those who set at nought and sold Him, Pierced, and nail'd Him to the tree, Deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. 3 Every island, sea, and mountain, Heaven and earth, shall feel away: All who hate Him must, confounded, Hear the trump proclaim the day; Come to judgment, Come to judgment, come away. 4 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. 5 Yea, Amen; let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne: Saviour, take the power and glory; Claim the kingdoms for Thine own: O come quickly! Hallelujah! Come, Lord, come! Languages: English

The Lord will come, the earth shall quake

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #2 (1871) Lyrics: 1 The Lord will come: the earth shall quake, The hills their fixèd seat forsake; And, withering from the vault of night, The stars withdraw their feeble light. 2 The Lord will come: but not the same As once in lowly form He came, A silent Lamb to slaughter led, The bruised, the suffering, and the dead. 3 The Lord will come: a dreadful form, With wreath of flame, and robe of storm, On cherub wings, and wings of wind, Anointed Judge of human-kind. 4 Can this be He who wont to stray A pilgrim on the world's highway; By power oppress'd, and mock'd by pride? O God! is this the Crucified? 5 Go, tyrants, to the rocks complain; Go, seek the mountain's cleft in vain; But faith, victorious o'er the tomb, Shall sing for joy, The Lord is come.

That day of wrath, that dreadful day

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #3 (1871) Lyrics: 1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heaven and earth shall pass away, What power shall be the sinner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day? 2 When, shrivelling like a parchèd scroll, The flaming heavens together roll, When louder yet, and yet more dread, Swells the high trump that wakes the dead. 3 O! on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes from clay, Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away.
