| 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 blessed 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 Thy people have been pining |
| | For Thy peace and rest, and Thee, |
| | Soon, in heav'nly glory shining, |
| | Their Restorer shall they see, |
| | Christ is coming! Christ is coming! |
| | Haste the joyous jubilee. |
| 4. | With that blessed hope before us, |
| | Let no harp remain unstrung; |
| | Let the mighty advent chorus |
| | Onward roll on every tongue. |
| | Christ is coming! Christ is coming! |
| | Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come. |
