1 Lo! he comes, with clouds descending,
Once for favored sinners slain!
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of his train:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
God appears on earth 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,
Shall the true Messiah see.
3 Now the Savior, 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 Yes, Amen! let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne!
Savior, take the power and glory:
Claim the kingdom for thine own!
O come quickly,
Everlasting God, come down!
