Jesus came, the heavens adoring

Godfrey Thring Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #318 (1894) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus came, the heavens adoring, Came with peace from realms on high; Jesus came for man's redemption, Lowly came on earth to die; Alleluia! Alleluia! Came in deep humility. 2 Jesus comes again in mercy When our hearts are worn with care; Jesus comes again in answer To an earnest, heart-felt prayer; Alleluia! Alleluia! Comes to save us from despair. 3 Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing, Bringing news of sins forgiven; Jesus comes in sounds of gladness, Leading souls redeemed to heaven; Alleluia! Alleluia! Now the gate of death is riven. 4 Jesus comes in joy and sorrow, Shares alike our hopes and fears; Jesus comes, whate'er befalls us, Cheers our hearts and dries our tears; Alleluia! Alleluia! Cheering e'en our failing years. 5 Jesus comes on clouds triumphant, When the heavens shall pass away; Jesus comes again in glory; Let us then our homage pay, Alleluia! ever singing, Till the dawn of endless day.
