Tomorrow Christ Is Coming

Author: Fred Kaan, 1929-2009 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #406 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Peace on Earth Lyrics: 1 Tomorrow Christ is coming as yesterday he came; a child is born this moment– we do not know its name. The world is full of darkness, again there is no room; the symbols of existence are stable, cross, and tomb. 2 Tomorrow will be Christmas, the feast of love divine, but for the nameless millions the star will never shine. Still is the census taken with people on the move; new infants born in stables are crying out for love. 3 There will be no tomorrows for many a baby born. Good Friday falls on Christmas when life is sown as corn. But Jesus Christ is risen and comes again in bread to still our deepest hunger and raise us from the dead. 4 Our God becomes incarnate in every human birth. Created in God's image, we must make peace on earth. God will fulfill Love's purpose and this shall be the sign: we shall find Christ among us as woman, child, or man. Scripture: Matthew 25:31-36 Languages: English Tune Title: CRAIGMILLAR

Comfort those who sit in darkness mourning under sorrow's load. To God's people now proclaim that God's pardon waits for them! Tell them that their war is over; God will reign in peace forever! 2 For the herald’s voice is crying in the desert far and near, calling us to true repentance since the kingdom now is here. Oh, that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet him, and the hills bow down to greet him! 3 Straight shall be what long was crooked, and the rougher places plain! Let your hearts be true and humble, as befits his holy reign! For the glory of the Lord now on earth is shed abroad, and all flesh shall see the token that God's word is never broken.

O give us brother love for better seeing Thy Word made flesh, and in a manger laid: Thy Kingdom come, O Lord, Thy will be done. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 6:10 Tune Title: LANGHAM
