Christ Is Coming { Christ Is Coming HELMSLEY-H. Madan ROUEN-Charles F. Gounod Christ Is Coming! } Christ is coming! Let creation Bid her groans and travail cease; Let the glorious proclamation Hope restore, and faith increase. Come, Lord Jesus! Come, thou blessed Prince of Peace. Long Thine exiles have been pining, Far from rest, and home, and Thee; But in heavenly vestures shining, They shall soon Thy glory see. Come, Lord Jesus! Haste the joyous Jubilee! With that blessed hope before us, Let no harp remain unstrung; Let the mighty advent-chorus Onward roll from tongue to tongue. Alleluia! Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come.
