[Verse 1]
   C                        Em
Oh may our world at last be just
    F                       G
And hilltops echo with your peace
  C                        Em
A harvest come from barren dust
   F       G           C
A reign of mercy never cease

[Chorus 1]
   F        C      G      C
He comes as rain upon the grass
     F        C      G
High heaven's son to earth descends
    C                        Em
Not as the seasons that will pass
    F       G               C
But with a light that never ends

[Verse 2]
   C                        Em
Oh come to him and find your rest
    F                        G
Who saw the poor and came as one
     C                       Em
Who hears the cries of the oppressed
    F          G              C
And rules till all oppressions done

[Chorus 2]
      F        C        G       C
Some day he'll come to reign as king
     F      C       G
And we will see his justice done
    C                       Em
Our souls will magnify and sing
     F           G               C
The Christ whose kingdom now has come

[Verse 3]
    C                       Em
And all the mighty and the strong
     F                     G
Will bow before him on the day
    C                            Em
The silenced fill the world with song
    F         G             C
The poor and lowly he will raise

[Chorus 3]
     F       C     G       C
And all our bitterness and tears
     F       C       G
Our violence and our endless wars
      C                         Em
Will end at last when he draws near
     F          G                  C
Come soon, come soon oh Christ our Lord
