Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Christ is coming, let creation 
Christ is coming! let creation bid her groans and travail cease; let the glorious proclamation hope restore, and faith increase: Christ is coming! Come, thou blessèd Prince of Peace. 
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! Let each heart repeat the strain. 
Though once cradled in a manger; oft no pillow but the sod; here an alien and a stranger, mocked of man, and bruised of God -all creation yet shall own thy kingly rod. 
Long thine exiles have been pining, far from rest, and home, and thee; but in heavenly vesture shining, they shall soon thy glory see: Christ is coming! Haste the joyous jubilee! 
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! Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come! 
John Ross MacDuff (1818-1895)
