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 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
