The Hope of the Ages

Jesus comes

He comes in glo­ry

Echoes through the ag­es hoa­ry

Blessèd hope and thrill­ing sto­ry

Hallelujah! Je­sus comes!

Hope of all the ag­es past

King of kings

He comes at last.

Up

ye saints of God awak­ing!

See the morn­ing light is break­ing!

Hallelujah! Je­sus comes!

Jesus comes

the dead are wak­ing

Earth with mor­tal pangs is quak­ing;

Stars are fall­ing

heav­ens shak­ing

Hallelujah! Je­sus comes!

Jesus comes

in clouds des­cend­ing

Sins re­strain­ing

sor­row end­ing

Broken ties for­ev­er mend­ing

Hallelujah! Je­sus comes!

Jesus comes

all things re­stor­ing

Cry aloud

His grace im­plor­ing

Bow the knee

the King ad­or­ing

Hallelujah! Je­sus comes!
