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.
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!
Come, Thou blessed Prince of Peace.
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Come, Thou blessed Prince of Peace.
Though once cradled in a manger,
Oft no pillow but the sod;
Here an alien and a stranger,
Mocked of men, disowned of God.
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Come, Thou blessed Prince of Peace.
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Come, Thou blessed Prince of Peace.
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!
Come, Thou blessed Prince of Peace.
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Come, Thou blessed Prince of Peace.
With that blessed hope before us,
Let our joyful songs be sung,
Let the mighty advent chorus
Onward roll from tongue to tongue:
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Come, Thou blessed Prince of Peace.
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Come, Thou blessed Prince of Peace.
