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!
