#57. Lo! He Comes With Clouds Descending
1)   Lo, He comes with clouds descending,
      Once for favored sinners slain;
      Thousand, thousand saints attending
      Swell the triumph of His train.
      Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
      God appears on earth to reign.

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, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
     Shall the true Messiah see.

3) Those dear tokens of His passion
     Still His dazzling body bears;
     Cause of endless exultation
     To His ransomed worshipers;
     With what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture,
     Gaze we on those glorious scars!

4)  Yea, Amen! Let all adore Thee,
     High on Thy eternal throne;
     Savior, take the power and glory,
     Claim the kingdom for Thine own.
     Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
     Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone.
