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.
