Lo, he cometh! countless trumpets

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

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

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

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

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