Text:Lo! He Comes
Author:John Cennick, 1718-1755
Author:Charles Wesley, 1707-1788
Tune:SICILIAN MARINER'S HYMN

84. Lo! He Comes

1 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.

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,
Hallelujah! Come, Lord, come.

Amen.
