Christ is coming! let creation
Bid
her groans and travail cease;
Let
the glorious proclamation
Hope
restore and faith increase;
Christ
is coming! Christ is coming!
Come,
Thou blessed Prince of Peace!
(Prince
of Peace!)
Come,
Thou blessed Prince of Peace!

Earth
can now but tell the story
Of
Thy bitter cross and pain;
She
shall yet behold Thy glory
When
Thou comest back to reign;
Christ
is coming! Christ is coming!
Let
each heart repeat the strain.
(repeat
the strain)
Let
each heart repeat the strain.

With
that "blessed hope" before us,
Let
no harp remain unstrung;
Let
the mighty advent chorus
Onward
roll from tongue to tongue:
Christ
is coming! Christ is soling!
Come,
Lord Jesus, quickly come!
(quickly
come!)
Come,
Lord Jesus, quickly come!
