Jesus came, adored by angels

Jesus came, the heav'ns adoring,
came with peace from realms on high;
Jesus came for our redemption,
humbly came on earth to die;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
came in deep humility.

Jesus comes again in mercy
when our hearts are worn with care;
Jesus comes again in answer
to an earnest, heartfelt prayer,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
comes to save us from despair.

Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing,
bringing news of sins forgiv'n;
Jesus comes with words of gladness,
leading souls redeemed to heav'n.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Hope to all the world is giv'n.

Jesus comes on clouds triumphant
when the heav'ns shall pass away.
Jesus comes again in glory;
let us, then, our homage pay,
Alleluia! ever singing
till the dawn of endless day.
