Lo! He Comes, With Clouds Descending

by THE HOLY SPIRIT

Lo! He Comes, With Clouds Descending
"Look, he is coming with the clouds" Rev. 1:7
Lo! He comes, with clouds descending,
'Once for favoured sinners slain:
Every eye shall now behold Him.
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Hail messiah
God appears on earth to reign.
'Thousand Thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of His train;
All who in the Lord are sleeping.
All shall rise to meet with Him.
Hallelujah!
Heaven and earth shall pass away!
Those who set at nought and mock Him,
Deeply shall wail on that day
All His saints, who deeply loved Him
Now shall meet Him in the air:
Hallelujah!
Jesus come, Our Savior come

Christ is coming! Let creation
"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command" I Thess. 4:16.
Christ is coming! Let creation
From her groans and travail cease,
Let the glorious proclamation
Hope restore and faith increase:
Christ is coming!
Come, thou blessed prince of peace.
Earth can now but tell the story
Of thy bitter cross and pain;
She shall yet behold thy glory,
When thou comest back to reign
Christ is coming!
Let each heart repeat the stain.
Long thine exiles have been pining
Far from rest, and home, and thee:
But, in heavenly vestures shining
They their loving Lord shall see:
Christ is coming!
Haste the joyous Jubilee.
With blessed hope before us,
Let no harp remain unstrung;
Let the mighty advent chorus.
Onward toil from tongue to tongue.
Christ is coming!
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!
