260:Lo! He comes with clouds descending

Tunes: Helmsley, 402
Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7. Trochaic

LO! he comes with clouds descending,
Once for favoured sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of his train;
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,
Shall the true Messiah see.

3 Those dear tokens of his passion
Still his dazzling body bears;
Cause of endless exultation
To his ransomed worshippers;
With what rapture
Gaze we on those glorious scars!

4 Yea, amen, let all adore thee
High on thy eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and glory,
Claim the Kingdom for thine own;
Hallelujah!
Everlasting God, come down!

Charles
