When Will He Come

The Christ-child came
down to the earth as man
Christ, the Word, alive
before the world began

Coming to the earth
the Advent time remembering
waiting for our coming King
returning in victory

When will he come
our lives on edge, uneasy
knowing the stain we carry

Yet if we turn to him
away from the world
what life he will give us

Hope in His coming
returning to the earth
gathering us to him
to our heavenly homes
