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 Thy own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thy all-sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
