Lyrics
Come, O long-expected Jesus,
born to set your people free;
from our fear and sins release us,
Christ, in whom our rest shall be.
Israel’s strength and consolation,
born salvation to impart;
dear desire of every nation,
joy of every longing heart.
Born your people to deliver,
born a child, and yet a King;
born to reign in us for ever,
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.
