Lo, he cometh! countless trumpets Christ's appearance usher in: 'Midst ten thousand saints and angels See our Judge and Saviour shine: Hallelujah! hallelujah! Welcome, welcome, Lamb once slain.

Verse 2

Now the song of all the ransomed, "Worthy is the Lamb," resounds; Now resplendent shine his nail-prints Every eye shall see his wounds; Great his glory, great his glory! Every knee to him shall bow,

Verse 3

Every island, sea, and mountain, Earth and heaven flee away; All his enemies confounded Hear the trump proclaim his day: Come to judgment! come to judgment! Stand before the Son of man.

Verse 4

All who love him view his glory, In his bright, once-marred face: Jesus cometh; all his people Now their heads with gladness raise: Happy mourners! happy mourners! Lo, on clouds he comes, he comes!

Verse 5

See redemption, long expected, On that awful day appear; All his people, once despised, Joyful meet him in the air: Hallelujah! hallelujah! Saviour, now thy kingdom comes.
