The Second Coming of Christ. Rev. 1. 7

1 Lo! he comes, with clouds descending,
  Once for favoured sinners slain,
  Thousand, thousand saints attending,
  Swell the triumph of his train,
  And with pleasure,
  Magnify his awful name!

2 Every eye shall now behold him,
  Robed in dreadful majesty;
  Those who set at nought and sold him,
  Pierced and nailed him to the tree,
  Deeply wailing,
  Shall the true Messiah see.

3 Every island, sea, and mountain –
  Heaven and earth, shall flee away;
  All who hate him must, confounded,
  Hear the trump proclaim the day;
  Come to judgment!
  Come to judgment! come away!

4 Now redemption, long expected,
  See in solemn pomp appear!
  All his saints, by man rejected,
  Now shall meet him in the air!
  Hallelujah!
  See the day of God appear!
