Lyrics

Verse 1 Jesus came, the heav'ns adoring, Came with peace from realms on high; Jesus came for man's redemption, Lowly came on earth to die. Alleluia! Alleluia! Came in deep humility. Verse 2 Jesus comes again in mercy, When our hearts are bowed with care; Jesus comes again in answer to an earnest, heartfelt prayer; Alleluia! Alleluia! Comes to save us from despair. Verse 3 Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing, bringing news of sins forgiv'n; Jesus comes in sounds of gladness, leading souls redeemed to Heav'n; Alleluia! Alleluia! Now the gate of death is riv'n. Verse 4 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; Alleluia! Alleluia! Cheering e'en our failing years. Verse 5 Jesus comes on clouds triumphant, when the heav'ns shall pass away; Jesus comes again in glory; let us then our homage pay, Alleluia! Alleluia! Till the dawn of endless day....
