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 for ever,
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.
