Lo! he comes with clouds descending (Helmsley)

Lo! he comes with clouds descending,
once for our salvation slain;
thousand, thousand saints attending
swell the triumph of his train:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ the Lord returns 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, deeply wailing, 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 worshipers;
with what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture,
gaze we on those glorious scars!
Yea, amen! let all adore thee,
high on thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the power and glory;
claim the kingdom for thine own:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou shalt reign, and thou alone.
Words: Charles Wesley
Music: Helmsley, melody A. Arne; improvised accompaniment by Robert McCormick, last verse after Martin How

Magnificent Advent hymn

[@rogernichols1124]

A great hymn - I'm playing it tomorrow morning. Beautiful, dignified Anglican ceremonial.

The organ pedal point and improv make me want to get up and shout praise to God even at 3 30 in the morning. Beautiful procession. Magnificent choir. The best videography of any church livestreaming.

We may be in Easter (still feels like Advent and Lent to me though)
