Come, thou long-expected Jesus
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 saints 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 o'er us forever;Now thy precious kingdom bring:By thine own eternal SpiritRule in all our hearts alone;By thine all-sufficient meritRaise us to thy glorious throne.
