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.
Wont You come?
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
Beyond our strength and consolation,
Now hope of all the earth Thou art
Oh dear desire of every nation,
Now joy of every longing heart.
For by Thine own eternal Spirit
You rule in all our hearts alone
Now by Thine all sufficient merit,
You raise us to Thy glorious throne.
Wont You come, Thou long expected
Jesus
