��CiTARi.KS WERLm- (1707-17SS) and John Cennick (ITIS-ITW).

10 ! he comes with clouds descending, ■^Once for favoured sinners slain ; Thousand thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of his train :

Alleluia ! God appears, on earth to reign.

��Every eye shall now behold him Robed in dreadful majesty ;

Those who set at nought and sold him, Pierced and nailed him to the tree,

Deeply wailing Shall the true Messiah see.

��Those dear tokens of his passion Still his dazzling body bears,

Cause of endless exultation To his ransomed worshippers :

With what rapture Gaze we on those glorious scars !

��Yea, amen ! let all adore thee, High on thine eternal throne ;

Saviour, take the power and glory ; Claim the kingdom for thine own

Come, Jehovah ! Everlasting God, come down.
