Verse 1
Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
hope of all the earth thou art —
dear desire of every nation,
joy of every longing heart.
Verse 2
Born Thy people to
de liver, Born a child and
yet a King, Born to reign in
us forever, Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal
Spirit Rule in all our hearts alone; By
Thine all sufficient merit, Raise
us to Thy glorious throne.
