Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Come, O long expected Jesus,
Born to set your people free,
From our fears and sins release us;
free us from captivity.
VERSE 2
Israel's strength and consolation,
You, the hope of all the earth,
Dear desire of ev'ry nation,
Come, and save us by your birth.
VERSE 3
Born your people to deliver;
Born a child and yet a king,
Born to reign in us for ever
Now your gracious kingdom bring
VERSE 4
By your own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By your all sufficient merit.
Raise us to your glorious throne
