1 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 blessèd Prince of Peace. Come, Thou blessèd Prince of Peace. 2 We can now but tell the story Of your bitter cross and pain; We shall yet behold your glory, In your coming back to reign; Christ is coming! Christ is coming! Let each heart repeat the strain. Let each heart repeat the strain. 3 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! Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!
