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

Thou my strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of every longing heart

Joy to those who long to see Thee
Day-spring from on high appear
Come thou promised Rod of Jesse
Of Thy birth, we long to hear

O'er the hills the angels singing
News, glad tidings of a birth
Go to Him your praises bringing
Christ the Lord has come to earth

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

Thou my strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of every longing heart
