Author: John Cennick Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #8 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Lo, He comes, with clouds descending,
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. Topics: Church Year Advent; Advent, Second Sunday; Trinity, Twenty-fifth Sunday; Christ Second Advent of; Kingdom of Christ; Second Advent Scripture: Daniel 7:10 Languages: English Tune Title: KENSINGTON
