Sunday Hymn: Lo, He Comes, with Clouds Descending
Sunday, October 11, 2009 at 06:00AM LO, HE COMES, WITH CLOUDS DESCENDING
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.
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,
Shall the true Messiah see.
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 away!
Now Redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear!
All his saints, by man rejected,
Now shall meet him in the air:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
See the day of God appear!
Yea, Amen! let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the pow'r and glory,
Claim the kingdom for thine own:
O come quickly, O come quickly:
Alleluia! come, Lord, come.
Trinity Hymnal #237

So looking forward to that day!
What is it about these wonderful hymns that remind us of who God is so effectively, in comparison to so much of what passes for "worship" music in many churches, with the focus on us..... I love these Sunday hymns, Kim!! Thank you for sharing them!! These are some of my favorite posts of yours!!
