Lyrics

He comes! He comes! the Judge se­vere!
The se­venth trum­pet speaks Him near;
His light­nings flash, His thun­ders roll;
How wel­come to the faith­ful soul!

From Heav’n an­gel­ic voices sound;
See the al­migh­ty Je­sus crowned,
Girt with om­ni­po­tence and grace!
And glo­ry decks the Sav­ior’s face.

Descending on His great white throne,
He claims the king­doms for His own;
The king­doms all ob­ey His Word,
And hail Him their tri­um­phant Lord.

Shout, all the peo­ple of the sky,
And all the saints of the Most High;
Our Lord, who now His right ob­tains,
Forever and for­ev­er reigns.
