CLVII. Judgment

1 Lo! he cometh, countless Trumpets
Blow before the bloody Sign;
Midst ten thousand Saints and Angels
See the crucified Shine.
Hallelujah! hallelujah! hallelujah!
Welcome, welcome, bleeding Lamb!

2 Now his Merit, by the Harpers,
Thro' th' eternal Deep resounds;
Now resplendent shine his Nail-Prints,
Every Eye shall see his Wounds:
They who pierc'd him, they who pierc'd him
they who pierc'd him,
Shall at his Appearance wail.

3 Ev'ry Island, Sea and Mountain,
Heav'n and Earth shall flee away;
All who hate him, must, ashamed,
Hear the Trump proclaim the Day:
Come to Judgment, come to judgment,
come to Judgement,
Stand before the Son of Man.

4 Saints who love him, view his Glory
Shining in his bruised Face,
His dear Person on the Rainbow,
Now his Peoples Head shall raise:
Happy Mourners, happy Mourners,
happy Mourners,
Lo! in Clouds he comes, he comes!

5 Now Redemption, long expected,
See in solemn Pomp Appear;
All his People once rejected,
Now shall meet him in the Air:
Hallelujah! hallelujah! hallelujah!
Now the promis'd Kingdom's come.

6 View him smiling, now determin'd
Ev'ry Evil to destroy;
All the Nations now shall sing him
Songs of everlasting Joy;
O come quickly, O come quickly,
O come quickly,
Hallelujah! come! Lord come.
