  1. 1Christ is coming! let creation
  2. Bid her groans and travails cease;
  3. Let the glorious proclamation
  4. Hope restore and faith increase;
  5. Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
  6. Come, thou blessed Prince of Peace!
  7. 2Earth can now but tell the story
  8. Of thy bitter cross and pain;
  9. She shall soon behold thy glory,
  10. When thou comest back to reign;
  11. Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
  12. Let each heart repeat the strain.
  13. 3Long thy exiles have been pining,
  14. Far from rest, and home, and thee;
  15. But, in heav'nly vesture shining,
  16. Soon they shall thy glory see;
  17. Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
  18. Hast the joyous jubilee.
  19. 4With that "blessed hope" before us,
  20. Let no harp remain unstrung;
  21. Let the mighty advent chorus
  22. Onward roll, from tongue to tongue;
  23. Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
  24. Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!
