He Comes! He Comes! the Judge Severe!

He comes! He comes! the Judge severe!
The seventh trumpet speaks Him near;
His lightnings flash, His thunders roll;
How welcome to the faithful soul!

From Heav’n angelic voices sound;
See the almighty Jesus crowned,
Girt with omnipotence and grace!
And glory decks the Savior’s face.

Descending on His great white throne,
He claims the kingdoms for His own;
The kingdoms all obey His Word,
And hail Him their triumphant Lord.

Shout, all the people of the sky,
And all the saints of the Most High;
Our Lord, who now His right obtains,
Forever and forever reigns.

This hymn is from Charles Wesley's collection 'Hymns of the Lord's Supper' (or related 1750s publications). It is a lesser-known eschatological text sometimes paired with tunes like 'Helmsley'. No strong alternate attributions exist; it is consistently credited to Charles Wesley in Methodist and hymnological sources.
