Lo! he comes with clouds, descending, once for favor'd sinners slain.
Thousand thousand saints, attending, swell the triumph of his train.
	Hallelujah! God appears on Earth to reign.
Every eye shall now behold him rob'd in dreadful majesty.
Those who set at naught and sold him, pierc'd and nail'd him to the tree,
	Deeply wailing, shall their true messiah see.
Every island, sea and mountain, Heav’n and Earth, shall flee away.
All who hate him must, confounded, hear the trump proclaim the day:
	Come to judgment! Come to judgment! Come away!
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!
Answer thine own bride and spirit; hasten, lord, the gen'ral doom!
The new Heav’n and Earth t’inherit, take thy pining exiles home!
	All creation travails, groans, and bids thee come.
Yea, amen! let all adore thee, high on thine eternal throne!
Saviour, take the pow'r and glory, claim the kingdom for thine own!
	Oh come quickly! Hallelujah! Come, Lord, come!
