HYMN 65.

Lo! He comes, with clouds descending,
Once for favour'd sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of His train.
Hallelujah!
God appears on earth to reign.

Ev'ry eye shall now behold Him,
Rob'd in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at nought and sold Him.
Pierc'd and nail'd Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.

Now redemption, long expected,
See! in solemn pomp appear!
All His saints by man rejected,
Rise to meet Him in the air;
Hallelujah!
See the day of God appear.

Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the pow'r and glory;
Claim the kingdom for Thine own;
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Come Lord come.
