Text: | Christ is coming! let creation |
Author: | John Ross Macduff (1818-1895) |
Tune: | NEANDER (UNSER HERRSCHER) |
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 now, blessèd Prince of Peace.
2 Earth can now but tell the story
of your bitter cross and pain;
she shall yet behold your glory;
in your coming back to reign:
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
'Come, Lord Jesus, come again!'
3 Long your exiles have been pining,
far from you, and rest, and home:
but, in heavenly glory shining,
soon their loving Lord shall come:
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Haste the joyous jubilee.
4 With that blessèd hope before us,
harps be played and songs be sung;
let the mighty advent chorus
onward roll from tongue to tongue:
'Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!'
