  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.

  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 Thy people to deliver,
    Born a Child and yet a King,
    Born to reign in us forever,
    Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.

  4. By Thine own eternal Spirit
    Rule in all our hearts alone;
    By Thine all-sufficient merit,
    Raise us to Thy glorious Throne. Amen.
