- The 76 Hymn
Lo He Comes With Clouds Descending
Once For Favor'd Sinners Slain
Thousand Thousand Saints Attending
Hallelujah Hallelujah Amen
Ev'ry Eye Shall Now Behold Him
Rob'd In Dreadful Majesty
They Who Set At Nought And Sold Him
Pierc'd And Nail'd Him To The Tree
Deeply Wailing Shall the true Messiah be
Ev'ry Island sea And Mountain
Heav'n And Earth Shall flee Away
All who Hale Him must Confounded
Hear the Trump Proclaim the Day
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
Hallelujay See The Day of God Appear
Answer Thine Own Bride And Spirit
Hasten Lord The Gen'ral Doom
The Low Heav'n And Earth Inherit
Take Thy Pining Exile Home
All creation Travails groans and Bids The Come
Yea Amen Let All Adore Thee
Rigt On Thine Eternal Throne
Saviour Take The Pow'r And Glory
Claim The Kingdom For Thine Own
O Come quickly Hallelujah
Come Lord Come"

The first version of this hymn by John Cennick contains our stanzas 1, 3 and 4. Cennick was a colleague of the Wesleys who add stanzas 2 and 6 of this version with other additions and deleted verses from Cennick’s original by their 1758 hymnal.
This hymn was often reprinted between the date of it’s creation and our sampler. The title “The 76 Hymn” probably refers to the hymn appearing in a collected hymn book as number 76. It happens to appear as Hymn 76 (Hymn LXXXVI), in a hymnal in 1785 by Willam Bromley Cadogan that exactly matches our sampler’s verses. This may have been the stitcher’s actual version of the text used.
