1 Lo! he comes, with clouds descending,
Once for favored sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of his train:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
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, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.
3 The dear tokens of His passion
still His dazzling body bears;
cause of endless exultation
to His ransomed worshipers;
with what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture,
gaze we on those glorious scars!
4 Yea, Amen! Let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the pow'r and glory,
Claim the kingdom for thine own:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Everlasting God, come down!
