Full Text

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,
Through 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 Every island, sea and mountain,
Heaven 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 promised Kingdom's come.

6 View him smiling, now determined
Every 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.

The Christian's duty, exhibited in a series of hymns, 1791

Author: John Cennick

John Cennick was born at Reading, Berkshire, in the year 1717. He became acquainted with Wesley and Whitefield, and preached in the Methodist connection. On the separation of Wesley and Whitefield he joined the latter. In 1745, he attached himself to the Moravians, and made a tour in Germany to fully acquaint himself with the Moravian doctrines. He afterwards ministered in Dublin, and in the north of Ireland. He died in London, in 1755, and was buried in the Moravian Cemetery, Chelsea. He was the author of many hymns, some of which are to be found in every collection. --Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A. 1872.… Go to person page >
