Christians All, Your Lord Is Coming - 136

Christians all, your Lord is coming, drawing near in holy birth.

Ring the bells and sound the trumpets, let your music fill the earth.

Dance and move to show God’s glory; kneel and pause to hear God’s word.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Rise and let your songs be heard.

Christians all, your Lord is coming, calling you to serve in deed.

See the ones who hurt and suffer, hear their cry and act with speed.

Set all selfish ways behind you. Purge your hearts of sinful greed.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Christ in you will meet their need.

Christians all, your Lord is coming, he will rise up from the dead.

Lift the cup, of sin forgiven; bless the host and heat his bread.

Mend the ways where peace is broken, give yourselves to true Shalom.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Dwell as one in church and home.

Christians all, your Lord is coming, hope for peace is now at hand.

Let there be no hesitation, walk in faith where life demands.

Bear the word that God has given; share the birth that stirs your soul.

Alleluia! Alleluia! Christ will come and make you whole.
