The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#907

907. Lo! He comes; the Archangel's trumpet

1 Lo! He comes; the Archangel's trumpet
Wakes to life the slumbering dead;
'Mid ten thousand thousand angels,
See their great exalted Head:
Hallelujah!
Welcome, welcome, Son of God.

2 Full of joyful expectation,
Saints behold the Judge appear;
Truth and justice go before him;
Now the blissful sentence hear:
Hallelujah!
Judge divine, O soon appear!

3 Come, ye blessed of my Father,
Enter into life and joy;
Banish all your fears and sorrows;
Endless praise be your employ:
Hallelujah!
Welcome bliss without alloy.
