Christ is coming! let creation
1
Christ is coming! let creationBid her groans and travails cease;Let the glorious proclamationHope restore and faith increase;Christ is coming!Come, thou blessed Prince of peace!
2
Earth can now but tell the storyOf thy bitter cross and pain;She shall yet behold thy gloryWhen thou comest back to reign;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 heavenly vesture shining,Soon they shall thy glory see;Christ is coming!Haste 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!Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!
