Come Thou Long Expected Jesus

1. Come, thou long expected Jesus,
Born to set they people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in thee.
2. Israel’s strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation.
Joy of every longing heart.
3. Born they people to deliver,
Born a Child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now thy gracious kingdom bring.
4. By thy own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thy all-sufficient merit,
Raise us to thy glorious throne.
