Text: | Christ Is Coming! Let Creation |

Tune: | UNSER HERRSCHER |
Composer: | Joachim Neander |
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 blessèd Prince of Peace.
2 We can now but tell the story
Of Thy bitter cross and pain;
We 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!
Haste the joyous jubilee.
4 With that blessèd 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!
Amen.
