JESUS COMES ON CLOUDS TRIUMPHANT, by                    
First Line: Jesus came, the heavens adoring
Last Line: Till the dawn of endless day.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Jesus came, the heavens adoring,
Came with peace from realms on high;
Jesus came for man's redemption,
Lowly came on earth to die;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Came in deep humility.

Jesus comes again in mercy,
When our hearts are bowed with care;
Jesus comes again in answer
To an earnest, heartfelt prayer;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Comes to save us from despair.

Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing,
Bringing news of sins forgiven:
Jesus comes in sounds of gladness,
Leading souls redeemed to heaven;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Now the gate of death is riven.

Jesus comes in joy and sorrow,
Shares alike our hopes and fears;
Jesus comes whate'er befalls us,
Glads our hearts, and dries our tears;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Cheering e'en our failing years.

Jesus comes on clouds triumphant,
When the heavens shall pass away;
Jesus comes again in glory:
Let us then our homage pay,
Hallelujah! ever singing,
Till the dawn of endless day.
