Christ the Lord All Power Possessing

Lyrics by
James Montgomery (1822)
Music by
Carl Maria von Weber (1825)
Tune
WEIMAR · 8.7.8.7.D
Scripture
Ephesians 1:20-22
Verse 1
Christ, the Lord, all power possessing,
Parting, mounted heaven's height,
Gracious hands outstretched in blessing,
Clouds received Him from their sight.
Christ ascended, Christ ascended,
Christ ascended on the clouds.
Christ ascended on the clouds.
Verse 2
Daniel views earth's judgment hour,
Angels gathering open books.
God enthroned inflaming power
For His Son's arrival looks.
Christ approaches, Christ approaches,
Christ approaches on the clouds.
Christ approaches on the clouds.
Verse 3
Revelation's word fulfilling,
Trumpet, voices pierce the air.
Saint and sinner fainting, thrilling,
Every eye behold Him there.
Christ is coming, Christ is coming,
Christ is coming on the clouds.
Christ is coming on the clouds.

Montgomery affirms Christ's universal power and lordship over all creation and history.
