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. |
|
Born Thy people to deliver, |
|
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. |
|
By Thine all sufficient merit, |
|
Raise us to Thy glorious throne. |
