LO, HE COMES WITH CLOUDS DESCENDING
Charles Wesley
Lo, He comes with clouds descending, once for favoured sinners slain:
Thousand thousand saints attending swell the triumph of His train:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Christ appears on earth to reign.
Every eye shall now behold Him robed in dreadful majesty:
Those who set at nought and sold Him, Pierced and nailed Him to the tree
Deeply wailing, Deeply wailing, Deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see.
Those dear tokens of His passion still His dazzling body bears:
Couse of endless exultation to His ransomed worship pers:
With what rapture, With what rapture, With what rapture,
gaze we on those glorious scars.
Yea, amen, let all adore Thee high on Thine eternal throne:
Saviour, take the power and glory, Claim the kingdom for thine own:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Thou shalt reign and Thou alone. Label: Gemende
