General information
Lo, he comes with clouds descending is a hymn by Charles Wesley, published as 'HYMN XXXIX' on pp32-33 of his Hymns of Intercession for all Mankind, Bristol: 1758. In that publication, the hymn is headed 'The same.', referring back to the heading 'Thy kingdom come!' associated with the text O when shall we supremely blest ('HYMN XXXVI', on pp29-30).
The text is similar to (and possibly a reworking by Wesley of) John Cennick's hymn Lo, he cometh, countless trumpets, published in the fifth edition of Cennick's Collection of Sacred Hymns in 1752.
