The Second Advent

Verse 1

He comes! he comes! The Judge severe! The seventh trumpet speaks him near; His lightnings flash, his thunders roll; How welcome to the faithful soul!

Verse 2

From heaven angelic voices sound; See the almighty Jesus crowned; Girt with omnipotence and grace, And glory decks the Saviour's face.

Verse 3

Descending on his great white throne, He claims the kingdoms for his own; The kingdoms all obey his word, And hail him their triumphant Lord.

Verse 4

Shout, all the people of the sky, And all the saints of the Most High: Our Lord, who now his right obtains, For ever and for ever reigns.
