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 ev'ry nation,
Joy of ev'ry longing heart.

Born thy people to deliver;
Born a child and yet a king;
Born to reign in us for ever;
Now thy gracious kingdom bring.

By thy own eternal Spirit,
Rule in all our hearts alone:
By thy all sufficient merit,
Raise us to thy glorious throne.
