Lo He Comes with Clouds Descending (Charles Wesley) Maddy Prior

1 Verse:
Lo! he comes with clouds descending,
Once for favored sinners slain!
Thousand, thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of his train.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
God appears on Earth to reign.

2 Verse:
Ev'ry eye shall now behold him 
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold him 
Pierced and nailed him to a tree,
Deeply wailing,
Deeply wailing,
Deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.

3 Verse:
The dear tokens of his passion
Still his dazzling body bears,
Cause of endless exultation
To his ransomed worshipers;
With what rapture,
With what rapture,
With what rapture
Gaze we on those glorious scars.

Verse 4:
Yea! Amen! let all adore thee
High on thine eternal throne!
Savior, take the pow'r and glory,
Claim the kingdom for thine own.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Everlasting God come down.
