Christ is coming! Let creation

From 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.

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.

Long thine exiles have been pining,

Far from rest, and home, and thee:

But, in heavenly vestures shining,

They their loving Lord shall see:

Christ is coming! Christ is coming!

Haste the joyous jubilee.

With that blessèd hope before us,

Let no harp remain unstrung;

Let the mighty advent chorus

Onward roll from tongue to tongue:

‘Christ is coming! Christ is coming!

Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!’
