LYRICS:
Lo! he comes with clouds descending,
Once for favoured sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of his train:
Alleluia! (3 times)
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 (3 times)
Shall the true Messiah see.
Yea, amen! let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and glory:
Claim the kingdom for thine own:
O come quickly! (3 times)
Alleluia! Come, Lord, come!
(Charles Wesley and J. Cennick)
Sing, ye Heavens
Sing, ye Heavens is an inspiring album of 21 hymns spanning 15 centuries of the history of Christian Europe. Reflecting the immense riches of hymnody built up over centuries, this notably eclectic survey sees Gregorian Chant rubbing shoulders with German chorales, Celtic folk melodies alongside 18th-century London street songs - albeit from an Anglican perspective. The arrangements range from delicate accompaniment of the harp to thrilling festival treatments with brass, timpani, percussion and organ.
John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.

That is an Advent Hymn in all its majesty for His Majesty.
Nothing like a last days Charles Wesley hymn with pipe organ, brass, timpani, and chorus!!
Lo he comes is translated into my language, (Ateso spoken in Eastern Uganda and Western Kenya). This song is a great inspiration as we occupy in the Lord's business until he returns with clouds descending. What a joy, what a great song!

1. Lo! He comes with clouds descending,
Once for ev'ry sinner slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of His train;
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Christ the Lord returns to reign.
2. Ev'ry eye shall now behold Him
Robed in glorious majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold Him,
Pierced and nailed Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
Shall their true Messiah see.
3. 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!
4. Yea, amen, let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the pow'r and glory,
Claim the kingdom as Thine own.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone!
"MARANATHA LORD COME QUICKLY!"
THE TWO JOHNS!
Wow
Is the score of this available -- particularly the descant?

Lo he comes normally starts with cymbals and a trumpet 🎼
A bit troubling the powerful third verse was dumped in this arrangement. "Those dear tokens of His passion" are what form the foundation for the greatness of His triumphant return.
..Lol?
