lyrics
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 eve'ry nation,
Joy of eve'ry longing heart.
Come to earth to taste our sadness,
He whose glories knew no end;
By his life he brings us gladness,
Our Redeemer, Shepherd, Friend.
Leaving riches without number,
Born within a cattle stall--
This the everlasting wonder,
Christ was born the Lord of all.
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.
