Lo He Comes With Clouds Descending (Smith)

Text:
Charles Wesley, Martin Madan, Joseph Swain, John Cennick
Music:
Matthew S. Smith

1. Every eye shall then 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,
Shall the true Messiah see.

Chorus: Lo! He comes
with clouds descending,
Once for favored sinners, slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of His train:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
God appears on earth to reign.

Verse 2 (Not on recording)
2. Lo! He comes in glory shining
Saints arise and meet your king
Glorious captain of salvation
“Welcome welcome” hear them sing
Shouts of triumph, shouts of triumph
Make the heavens with echoes ring

3. Now redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear;
All His saints, by man rejected,
Now shall meet Him in the air:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
See the day of God appear! (Repeat chorus)

4. Yea, 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! O come quickly!
Hallelujah! Come, Lord, come!
Come, Lord, Come! (Repeat chorus)
