The Book of Worship ‎#446

446. Behold! He Cometh!

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

2 Every eye shall now behold Him
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold Him,
Pierced and nailed Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.

3 All the tokens of His passion
Still His dazzling body bears:
Cause of endless exultation
To His ransomed worshipers;
With what rapture
Gaze we on those glorious scars!

4 Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and glory;
Make Thy righteous sentence known:
Jah! Jehovah!
Claim the kingdom for Thine own.
