Lo he comes with cloud descending,
Once for favored sinners slain.
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of his train.

God appears on Earth to reign
God appears on Earth to reign
Those dear tokens of His passion
Still His dazzling body bears;
Cause of endless exultation
To His ransomed worshippers;
With what rapture
With what rapture
With what rapture
Gaze we on those glorious scars! Gaze we on those glorious scars
Once for favored sinners slain.
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of his train.
