Behold, the Savior comes with clouds;
Lo, He comes! Lo, He comes!
Around Him throng angelic crowds;
Lo, He comes! Lo, He comes!
Now every eye the King shall see,
Who groaned and died on Calvary,
While sinners wail in agony,
When He comes, when He comes.
He who for us the cross did bear
Lo, He comes! Lo, He comes!
His many diadems to wear;
Lo, He comes! Lo, He comes!
Oh, while His foes grow pale with fear,
May I rejoice to see Him near,
And rise to meet Him in the air,
When He comes, when He comes.
