1

When the King of kings comes,When the Lord of lords comes;We shall have a joyful day,When the King of kings comes:Great Babylon is broken down,And kingdoms once of great renown,And saints now suffering wear the crown,When the King of kings comes.

2

When the trump of God calls,When the last of foes falls;We shall have a joyful day,When the King of kings comes.O, then the saints, raised from the dead,Are with the living gathered,And all made like their glorious Head,When the King of kings comes.

3

When the foe's distress comes,Then the church's "rest" comes;We shall have a joyful day,When the King of kings comes:And then the new Jerusalem,Surpassing all report and fame,Shines worthy of its Maker's name,When the King of kings comes.

4

When the world its course has run,When the judgment is begun;We shall have a joyful day,When the King of kings comes:To see the sons of God well known,All spotless to their Father shown,And Jesus all his brethren own,When the King of kings comes.

5

When the Conqueror's hour comes,When he with great power comes;We shall have a joyful day,When the King of kings comes:To see all things by him restored,And God himself alone adoredBy all the saints, with one accord,When the King of kings comes.
