Jesus came, the heav'ns adoring, came with peace from realms on high; Jesus came for our redemption, humbly came on earth to die; Alleluia! Alleluia! came in deep humility.

Verse 2

Jesus comes again in mercy when our hearts are worn with care; Jesus comes again in answer to an earnest, heartfelt prayer, Alleluia! Alleluia! comes to save us from despair.

Verse 3

Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing, bringing news of sins forgiv'n; Jesus comes with words of gladness, leading souls redeemed to heav'n. Alleluia! Alleluia! Hope to all the world is giv'n.

Verse 4

Jesus comes on clouds triumphant when the heav'ns shall pass away. Jesus comes again in glory; let us, then, our homage pay, Alleluia! ever singing till the dawn of endless day.
