- 1He comes! he comes! the Judge severe;
- The seventh trumpet speaks him near,
- His lightnings flash, his thunders roll;
- How welcome to the faithful soul!
- 2From heav'n angelic voices sound,
- See the almighty Jesus crown'd!
- Girt with omnipotence and grace,
- And glory decks the Saviour's face.
- 3Descending on his azure throne,
- He claims the kingdoms for his own;
- The kingdoms all obey his word,
- And hail him their triumphant Lord.
- 4Shout all the people of the sky,
- And all the saints of the Most High;
- Our Lord, who now his right obtains,
- For ever and for ever reigns.
