Lyrics

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.
