Lo! he
comes in clouds descending, Once for our salvation slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending swell the triumph of his train:
Alleluia! Christ the Lord returns to reign.
Every eye shall now behold him, Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold him, Pierced and nailed to the tree,
Deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see.
Those dear tokens of his passion still his dazzling body bears,
Savior take the power and glory; To the ransomed worshippers:
With what rapture gaze thee on those glorious scars!
Yea, Amen! let all adore thee, High on thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the power and glory; Claim the kingdom for thine own:
Allelujah! Thou shalt reign, and thou alone.
-Charles Wesley, 1758 / Transcribed from the 1940 Hymnal
