Christ Is Coming ! Let Creation Hymn Lyrics

1 Christ is coming ! let creation

From her groans and travail cease;

Let the glorious proclamation

Hope restore and faith increase:

Christ is coming I Christ is coming !

Come, Thou blessed Prince of Peace !

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.

3 Though once cradled in a manger,

Oft no pillow but the sod;

Here an alien and a stranger,

Mocked of men, disowned of God:

4 Long Thy exiles have been pining,

Far from rest, and home, and Thee;

But, in heavenly vesture shining,

Soon they shall Thy glory see.

5 With that “blessed hope” before us,

Let no harp remain unstrung;

Let the mighty ransomed chorus

Onward roll from tongue to tongue.
