Come, O Long Expected Jesus

Lyrics

Come, O long expected Jesus. Born to set your people free;
From our fears and sins release us; Free us from captivity.
Israel’s strength and consolation, You, the hope of all the earth,
Dear desire of ev’ry nation, Come, and save us by your birth.

Born your people to deliver; Born a child and yet a king!
Born to reign in us forever. Now your gracious kingdom bring.
By your own eternal Spirit, Rule in all our hearts alone;
By your all sufficient merit. Raise us to your glorious throne.
