1. Je- sus came, the heav'ns a- dor- ing, Came with peace from realms on high; Je- sus came for man's re- demp- tion, Low- ly came on earth to die. Al- le- lu- ia! Al- le- lu- ia! Came in deep hu- mil- i- ty.

2. Je- sus comes a- gain in mer- cy, When our hearts are bowed with care; Je- sus comes a- gain in an- swer To an ear- nest, heart- felt prayer; Al- le- lu- ia! Al- le- lu- ia! Comes to save us from des- pair.

3. Je- sus comes to hearts re- joic- ing, Bring- ing news of sins for- giv'n; Je- sus comes in sounds of glad- ness, Lead- ing souls re- deemed to Heav'n; Al- le- lu- ia! Al- le- lu- ia! Now the gate of death is riv'n.

4. Je- sus comes in joy and sor- row, Shares a- like our hopes and fears; Je- sus comes, what- e'er be- falls us, Glads our hearts, and dries our tears; Al- le- lu- ia! Al- le- lu- ia! Cheer- ing e'en our fail- ing years.

5. Je- sus comes on clouds tri- um- phant, When the heav'ns shall pass a- way; Je- sus comes a- gain in glo- ry; Let us then our hom- age pay, Al- le- lu- ia! Al- le- lu- ia! Till the dawn of end- less day.
