1.Christ is coming! let creationBid her groans and travails cease;Let the glorious proclamationHope restore and faith increase;Christ is coming! Christ is coming!Come, thou blessed Prince of Peace!2.Earth can now but tell the storyOf thy bitter cross and pain;She shall soon behold thy glory,When thou comest back to reign;Christ is coming! Christ is coming!Let each heart repeat the strain.3.Long thy exiles have been pining,Far from rest, and home, and thee;But, in heav'nly vesture shining,Soon they shall thy glory see;Christ is coming! Christ is coming!Hast the joyous jubilee.4.With that "blessed hope" before us,Let no harp remain unstrung;Let the mighty advent chorusOnward roll, from tongue to tongue;Christ is coming! Christ is coming!Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!
