Come Thou Long Expected Jesus

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 lonely heart

Him the 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 Thine all sufficient merit, raise us to Thine glorious throne

Come now great Redeemer, come Emmanuel
Bless the nations with Your presence here
Born our souls to rescue, born to save Your very own
Long expected Jesus, make our hearts Your home

Come Thou long expected Jesus
Come Thou long expected Jesus
