Charles Wesleys inspirierende Worte zu Lo! He comes with clouds descending („Seht! Er kommt mit sinkenden Wolken“) beruhen auf Strophen von John Cennick. Thomas Olivers leitete die Melodie von einer Volkstanzweise ab, die selbst womöglich von Thomas Arne stammt, der sie auf den Straßen pfeifen gehört hatte. Olivers’ Melodie erschien 1765 in John Wesleys Select Hymns with Tunes Annext unter dem Titel „Olivers“. Vier Jahre später lieferte Martin Madan in seiner Collection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes eine überarbeitete Fassung namens „Helmsley“. Vaughan Williams harmonisierte erneut die Melodie für die erste Ausgabe des English Hymnal. Die Oberstimme stammt von Christopher Robinson, dem Director of Music des St John’s College Choir von 1991 bis 2002. Quelle: http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/ 23.12.2014 Lo! He comes with clouds descending, Once for favored sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending, Swell the triumph of His train: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God appears on earth to reign. Every eye shall now behold Him Robed in dreadful majesty; Those who set at naught and sold Him, Pierced and nailed Him to the tree, Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. Every island, sea, and mountain, Heav'n and earth, shall flee away; All who hate Him must, confounded, Hear the trump proclaim the day: Come to judgment! Come to judgment! Come to judgment! Come to judgment! Come away! Now redemption, long expected, See in solemn pomp appear; All His saints, by man rejected, Now shall meet Him in the air: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! See the day of God appear! Answer Thine own bride and Spirit, Hasten, Lord, the general doom! The new Heav'n and earth t'inherit, Take Thy pining exiles home: All creation, all creation, all creation, Travails! groans! and bids Thee come! The dear tokens of His passion Still His dazzling body bears; Cause of endless exultation To His ransomed worshippers; With what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture Gaze we on those glorious scars! Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne; Savior, take the power and glory, Claim the kingdom for Thine own; O come quickly! O come quickly! O come quickly! Everlasting God, come down! Here is what believed to be the original version of Cennick's text: Lo! He cometh, countless Trumpets, Blow before his bloody Sign! 'Midst ten Thousand Saints and Angels, See the Crucified shine, Allelujah! Welcome, welcome bleeding Lamb! Now his Merits by the Harpers, Thro' the eternal Deeps resounds! resplendent shine his Nail Prints, Ev'ry Eye shall see his Wounds! They who pierc'd Him, shall at his appearing wail. Ev'ry Island, Sea, and Mountain, Heav'n and Earth shall flee away! All who hate him must ashamed, Hear the Trump proclaim the Day: Come to Judgment! Stand before the Son of Man! All who love him view his Glory Shining in his bruised Face: His dear Person on the Rainbow, Now his Peoples Heads shall raise: Happy Mourners! Now on Clouds he comes! He comes! Now Redemption long expected, See, in solemn Pomp appear; All his People, once despised, Now shall meet him in the Air: Allelujah! Now the promis'd Kingdom's come! View him smiling, now determin'd, Ev'ry Evil to destroy! All the nations now shall sing him, Songs of everlasting Joy! O come quickly! Allelujah! Come Lord, come! |
