词:Charles Wesley
歌词(Lyrics):
Lo,He comes with clouds descending,
Once for favoured sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of His train:
Alleluia!
Christ appears on earth to reign.
Every eye shall now behold Him
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at nought and sold Him,
Pierced and nailed Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.
Those dear tokens of His passion
Still His dazzling body bears;
Cause of endless exultation
To his ransomed worshippers:
With what rapture
Gaze we on those glorious scars.
Yea,amen,let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and glory,
Claim the kingdom for Thine own:
Alleluia!
Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone.
歌词:
昔在人间舍身救主,
今日乘云降下方;
千万圣众左右成行,
高唱凯歌声悠扬:
哈利路亚!
基督再来为君王。
天下众人皆将见主,
赫赫威仪从天下;
侮主卖主钉主罪人,
懊悔忧愁又害怕,
悲哀痛哭,
今才认识弥赛亚。
昔日受难创伤钉痕,
存留身上耀光芒;
千千欢呼万万喝彩,
得赎圣民齐宣扬:
喜不自胜,
荣耀伤痕在眼前。
救主高居永生宝座,
我众诚心同敬拜;
求主执掌威权荣耀,
收取万邦归统治:
哈利路亚!
独一至尊永治理。
诗歌背景:
这诗首见于一七五八年《为万民代求圣诗集》,灵感可能源于桑尼克写于一七五二年的同名圣诗。一七六零年美登把上述两诗合而为一,后世诗集因此出现好几个不同版本。
