Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending
Words and music by Charles Wesley · 1758
Key of G · 84 BPM · 4/4 · Advent,Hope · Revelation 1:7
Verse 1
Lo! he comes with clouds descending, once for favored sinners slain;
thousand thousand saints attending swell the triumph of his train:
alleluia! alleluia! God appears on earth to reign.
Verse 2
Ev'ry 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,
deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
Shall the
true Messiah see.
Verse 3
Ev'ry island,
sea, and
mountain, Heav'n and earth,
shall flee
away; All who
hate Him
must, confounded, Hear
the trump proclaim
the day:
Come to judgment!
Come to judgment!
Come to judgment!
Come to
judgment! Come away!
Verse 4
Now redemption,
long expected, See
in solemn pomp
appear; All His
saints, by
man rejected, Now
shall meet Him
in the
air: Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! See the
day of God
appear!
Verse 5
Answer Thine
own bride
and Spirit, Hasten, Lord,
the gen'ral
doom! The new
Heav'n and
earth inherit, Take
Thy pining exiles
home: All
creation, all
creation, all
creation, Travails!
groans! and bids
Thee come!
