| Text: | Lo! He comes, with clouds descending |
| Author: | Rev. Charles Wesley |
| Tune: | HOLYWOOD |
1 Lo! He comes, with clouds descending,
Once for our salvation slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of His train:
Alleluia, alleluia!
God appears on earth to reign.
2 Every 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,
Shall the true Messiah see.
3 Yea, Amen! Let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and glory,
Claim the Kingdom for Thine own:
O come quickly! O come quickly!
Alleluia! Come, Lord, come!
Amen.
