He Comes, He Comes! The Son Of God

Representative Text

1 He comes, He comes! the Son of God
Descends from yon­der sky;
Bright clouds com­pose His lof­ty seat,
And round Him an­gels fly.

2 Millions of mill­ions trem­bling stand
Before His aw­ful throne,
Summoned a strict ac­count to give,
Of works which they have done.

3 Oh then may all my fears sub­side,
My sins and sor­rows end,
And in the Judge may I be­hold
My Sav­ior and my friend.
