1 See your exalted Lord,
Once numbered with the dead;
A scepter now adorns His hand,
A royal crown His head.

2 To Him the heav’nly hosts
Their humble tribute bring,
And with ten thousand thousand tongues,
His endless glories sing.

3 Lo, He again descends,
In awful majesty;
Angels and saints, a splendid train,
Attend Him from the sky.

4 The world He comes to judge,
In truth and righteousness;
Ye sinners, tremble at His wrath,
Ye saints, adore His grace.
