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.
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.

Blessed Jesus, we adore You,
Light of Life and Sun of Love.
All Your children bow before You,
Speak Your name and lift You up.
King of Kings, from highest heaven,
Lord of Lords, come rule alone.
Son of God so sweetly given,
Make our hearts Your holy throne.
