Happy songs thro’ all the earth shall ring
When He cometh, when He cometh;
We shall all with joy behold our king
When our blessèd Lord shall come again.
Refrain
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Sing aloud the joyful strain;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Lo! He comes a king to reign.
Pain and sorrow then shall pass away
When He cometh, when He cometh;
On the world shall dawn a glorious day
When our blessèd Lord shall come again.
Refrain
He shall rule the world from shore to shore
When He cometh, when He cometh;
We shall reign with Him forevermore
When our blessèd Lord shall come again.
