1 Jesus came, adored by angels, came with peace from realms on high; Jesus came for our redemption, lowly came on earth to die: Alleluia, alleluia! came in deep humility.
2 Jesus comes again in mercy, when our hearts are bowed with care: Jesus comes again in answer to our earnest heart-felt prayer; Alleluia, alleluia! comes to save us from despair.
3 Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing, bringing news of sins forgiven: Jesus comes in sounds of gladness, leading souls redeemed to heaven; Alleluia, alleluia! now the gate of death is riven.
4 Jesus comes on clouds triumphant, when the heavens shall pass away; Jesus comes again in glory; let us then our homage pay; Alleluia, alleluia! till the dawn of endless day.
