Representative Text

1 Star of Hope for hearts forlorn,
Herald of the Advent morn,
Parting promise of the Lord,
Sweet and sure prophetic word,
Sing aloud the glad refrain,
Christ is coming back again.

Chorus:
Yes, He’ll come again, again,
As He went away;
Yes, He’ll come again, again,
Some sweet happy day.

2 Christ is coming back once more,
Sing it o’er and o’er and o’er,
Sing it by the lonesome tomb,
Till the grave shall lose its gloom,
Sing it by the couch of pain,
Christ is coming back again. [Chorus]

3 Christ is coming back again,
Tell it out to ransomed men,
Let Thy rays of promise cheer
Ev’ry distant pioneer,
Till the world shall shout the strain,
Christ is coming back again. [Chorus]
