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.
