16885. The Lord Is Coming In The Clouds

1 The Lord is com­ing in the clouds,
Is com­ing with an­gel­ic crowds;
A uni­vers­al shout shall rend
The air, and Jesus will des­cend.

2 How grand the pomp of His des­cent!
What glo­ry waits on the ev­ent!
The glo­ry that to Heav­en be­longs
Is His, and His the an­gels’ songs.

3 Unlike to those who no­thing see
Beyond the world, those men should be
Who look for Je­sus in the air,
And know that they shall meet Him there.
