Christ Is Coming

Words: John Ross Macduff, 1853

   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 bless�d prince of peace.

   2. 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.

   3. Long Thine exiles have been pining,
      Far from rest, and home, and Thee:
      But, in heav'nly vestures shining
      They their loving Lord shall see:
      Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
      Hast the joyous jubilee.

   4. With that bless�d 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!
