Lo! he comes, with clouds descending

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 797 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! he comes with clouds descending, once for our salvation slain; thousand, thousand saints attending swell the triumph of his train: Alleluia! Alleluia! Christ the Lord returns to reign. 2 Every eye shall now behold him, robed in dreadful majesty; those who set at nought and sold him, pierced, and nailed him to the tree, deeply wailing, deeply wailing, shall the true Messiah see. 3 Those dear tokens of his passion still his dazzling body bears, cause of endless exultation to his ransomed worshipers; with what rapture, with what rapture, gaze we on those glorious scars! 4 Yea, amen! let all adore thee, high on thine eternal throne; Savior, take the power and glory; claim the kingdom for thine own: Alleluia! Alleluia! Thou shalt reign, and thou alone. Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS (Wade)

In the joy of love’s communion, Finding motive and reward; Strong in purpose, strong in union, As an army of the Lord, Let us on to fight our battles In the heav’nly Master’s name, Though the thunder rolls and rattles, Though the sheeted lightnings flame.

Christ has risen! Christ has risen! And hath burst the sepulcher. 2 All in vain, the posted station Of the armèd soldiery, All in vain, the faithless nation Set the seal and watches nigh; Ye need not fear, ye need not fear, None can reach where He doth lie! 3 He Himself, from sleep awaking, Who spontaneous bore the gloom, Through the seals, and without breaking, Hath come forth and left the tomb; Death could not hold, death could not hold Him born of a virgin’s womb. 4 Lord, with Thee in daily dying May we die, and with Thee rise; And on earth, ourselves denying, Lift our hearts unto the skies, To sing our God, to sing our God, Three in One, sole Good and Wise.

Loy Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus took the babes and blessed them, Brought to Him in days of old; Fondly in His arms caressed them, Bade them welcome in His fold; Warmly welcomed, warmly welcomed, When disciples' hearts were cold. 2 Jesus calls them still with kindness Passing ev'ry mortal thought; Bids them come, though human blindness Still would chide when they are brought; Takes and blesses, takes and blesses, Whom He hath so dearly bought. 3 Jesus, we would not forbid them, We would have them brought to Thee; Thou of all their guilt dost rid them, From the curse dost set them free; Thine dost make them, Thine dost make them, Thine let them forever be!
