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 thine own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne
Born thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever
Now thy gracious kingdom bring
Born thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a King
Born to reign forever
Now thy gracious kingdom bring
Come, thou long expected Jesus
