204 – 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 earth thou art;

dear desire of every nation,

joy of every longing heart.

2

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.
