Scripture
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
Verse 1
Christ is coming! let creation
Bid 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!
Come, Thou blessed Prince of Peace!
Verse 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.
Let each heart repeat the strain.
Verse 3
With that "blessed 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!
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!
