Long Expected

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.

Joy to those who long to see Thee,
Dayspring 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.
rule in all our hearts alone;
raise us to Thy glorious throne.
rule in all our hearts alone;
raise us to Thy glorious throne.
